Attention SPAM / Zelevansky, Paul; Ronell A; Calvino I., 1997

 Item
Identifier: CC-37967-39849
Scope and Contents

The primary focus of this essay is the forms of reading proposed by contemporary, commercial magazines and books, with consideration of related concepts in pop music and electronic media. It raises the question of what it means to read and interpret when the parameters of visual and verbal signs and contexts are transient and mutable. Zelevansky asks "what does scanning, sampling, hypermedia, etc. mean for the creators and consumers of books destined for the new electronic superstore? The future of the book form is entwined with the future of reading." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

In his essay Gillo Dorfles describes Irma Blank's techniques for the blue paintings. "Indeed the artist uses both hands to fill with signs the vast canvases and the series of polyester sheets, all realized with a wholly manual, or rather 'corporal' technique. In fact, holding a bunch of ball-point pens in each hand, and giving each of these a synchronous rotary movement from the edge towards the centre, in close correspondence with her respiration and heartbeats, she impresses on the surface of the canvas, of polyester sheet, skeins of bright, stratified colours that - as the writing proceeds - thicken until they cover the whole surface of the painting, while maintaining imperceptible openings between one line and another: this is, in a sense, the breathing (the einatmen, or inhalation, and ausatmen, or exhalation) of the colour." -- Source of...
