  3. 'It doesn’t matter what transformative anticapitalist, antiracist or antiheteropatriarchal ideas we profess in the content of our work. They can be inspired by Karl Marx, Audre Lorde, Gilles Deleuze, María Lugones, Walter Mignolo, Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alain Badiou, Donna Haraway, Silvia Federici, Byung-Chul Han, Benjamin Bratton … whoever. But when it comes to our knowledge-making practices – the taken-for-granted forms our writing takes, the habitual ways in which we disseminate and monetise it, the associated upholding of notions of individualism, human rights and property rights – we still have to operate according to what is actually a Euro-Western, modernist and middle-class, straight white male model of the humanities researcher.'

  4. Latest title in Open Humanities Press's MEDIA : ART : WRITE : NOW series:

    Masked Media: What It Means to Be Human in the Age of Artificial Creative Intelligence by Gary Hall

    openhumanitiespress.org/books/

    Open access
    (= it can be downloaded for free)

    If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? It’s this question Gary Hall and his collaborators have been addressing for over 20 years with experimental projects such as OHP, Liquid and Living Books, and the Culture-Led Re-Commoning of Cities. Unsettling received ideas of the author and book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, these theorist-mediums test the ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing and print, through photography and video, to computers and GenAI.

  5. is #ExperimentalWriting dead?

    “You snap out of it! VANESSA: - Oh, those just get me psychotic! VANESSA: - Park. BARRY: - I don't think these are cut flowers with no water. They'll never make it. BARRY: I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. (The scene switches and Barry look up at the flower, shooting tubes that suck up the nectar to the point of weakness!”

  6. in her submission of “hotspur: esperance ma comforte,” writer Carmen Aiken described it as “An excerpt from a hybrid book born from Shakespeare's Henriad and turned into queer pining.”

  7. exploring the fediverse
    ...

    I'm exploring the #fediverse looking for Italian and/or .EN and/or .FR #experimentalwriting --- and traces of #asemicwriting too.

    But it seems like very very few people dealing with that kind of stuff live under the fediverse free flag. (Is anyone out there?!)

  8. Reread John Barth’s ‘The Literature of Exhaustion’ today.

    cdn.theatlantic.com/media/arch

    It’s a shame The Something Else Press - publishers of Gertrude Stein, John Cage, Robert Filliou, William Burroughs, Merce Cunningham and others - isn’t still running.

    Or maybe it isn’t. Maybe a more interesting idea would be for, say, Open Humanities Press to publish the intermedia texts and artworks of The Something Else Press and to identify OHP as their original place of publication – just as Barth can ‘readily imagine Beckett’s next novel, for example, as Tom Jones,’ and he himself has ‘always aspired to write Burton’s version of The 1001 Nights’.

    Also helpful in understanding what some of us mean by 'experimental' is this description of Clarice Lispector's later work, especially The Hour of the Star and The Passion of G.H.:

    'Resisting both the experimental writing that could be experienced as mere aesthetic or wordplay and the kind of "identitarian" writing that serves to categorize writers by their identity, Lispector's work does neither'.

    It's comes from the last chapter of Cynthia Cruz's 2021 book for Repeater: The Melancholia of Class: A Manifesto for the Working Class.

  12. I was reading The Third Mind by William Burroughs & Brion Gysin and thought I'd try my own Third Mind experiment. I got a pile of my own writing and then literally cut the printed pages up. I then placed the pieces together in a random way and saw what manifested in the coincident pattern.

    I call it "Driftwood Gate" >>
    ========================
    Doors flower here, his secret parents told him a long time ago.
    He was standing by the driftwood gate near the rusting letter box.
    Yes, the one where the letters I sent didn't arrive.
    Above him the sky, a heart trip blue,
    Sadness, blue Trumpet Justice.
    Smoke symbols near the mountain top.
    Smoke journey, curling language, wording of clip clap foot steps and sacred sighs ...
    Innocence, Earth moments, Venus breaths, Martian chaos.
    The world turned a few degrees
    Into the losing night light
    he raised the candle
    tattooed snow
    cobra fish moon mind
    my moon vision

    =========================
    I’ve got lots of other pieces I’ve written with Third Mind principles with insertions of Tarot & I Ching readings. Just playing with different mind set configurations. I love mucking around like this. I may post some of these as well. I’m getting to that stage in my life where I figure having stuff on paper in drawers gathering dust is rather stupid. So, why not bring it out into the “sunlight”?

    Here's another version I posted in my blog with slight variations.
