Hodibis Potax - Poetry Anthology / Oeuvres poetiques / Kac, Eduardo ; Sackner RK ; Sackner MA., 2007

 Item
Identifier: CC-59817-10002869
Scope and Contents On page 52 and 53 a hologram "Adrift" (1991) by Kac is acknowledged and illustrated to be in the collection of the Sackner Archive. In another publication Kac has described this work, "Adrift is composed basically of seven words that dissolve in space and into each other as the viewer reads them. In one case, the reader may be invited to start reading from the letter which is further away from him or her. In another case, the letter closer to the reader could be the starting point. The letters that make the words are floating irregularly along several Z axes, except for the word 'breathe', which is integrated into the overall light field. This word is blown by an imaginary wind as its letters actually move away from their original position to dissolve the light field. The movement of the letters in this word disrupts the apparent stability of the other words."This book is divided into sections titled Holopoetry, Digital Poetry, Biopoetry and Space Poetry. -- Source of annotation:...
