(10 audio files) Dada Miriam ‘Dada Miriam’ is a combination of ‘Dada’ like the movement and Miriam a traditional name. I performed with Kurt Schwitters. It has short pieces of performed poetry that deals with cutting the syllables. I made a lot of devices and new meanings out of it and sometimes I suspend the meaning. The first part ‘What is the Meaning of Life?’ is based on pure Hebrew. It is my voice on low speed in a man’s voice on the tape I moved from low to fast speed. I played the tape Representation of Location as a Mode of Object-Relation: Tel-Aviv as a Transitional-Object of Avoth Yeshurun”. • Power Point file 2: Samples of visual poetry

The first part ‘What is the Meaning of Life?’ is based on pure Hebrew. It is my voice on low speed in a man’s voice on the tape I moved from low to fast speed. I played the tape like a piano and I could make two figures out of my manipulations out of the bottom of the speed. Miriam is a common name but I wanted to make ‘Dada’ more personal. ‘Doda’ in Hebrew is Aunt which makes it more personal. In this piece I take a word and then when I cut it and when I speak there is a whole ceremony around this small piece of words and it becomes a lingual plot. It has stories within stories. The laugh is an imitation of my Aunt, which is Doda Miriam when she is calling my father. There are ten pieces. I am making the question dance. ‘Nefetch’ in Hebrew is soul/spirit from this I made ‘ketchup’ it’s as if the boy is trying to copy it but it becomes something else. These are pieces that could not be in a book and I took some out of a book. What’s the Meaning of Life?
