kurt cobain meets william burroughs

Kurt Cobain was…

…first exposed to Burroughs’ work in high school, it heavily influenced Cobain’s writing when he started enforcing the Beat writer’s “cut-up” method. First introduced to Burroughs by artist Brion Gysin and inspired by a similar technique used by Dadaists by the 1920s, the collage-like approach mixes words and phrases that are pieced together, often creating juxtaposing text or narratives.

“My lyrics are total cut-up,” said Cobain.”I take lines from different poems that I’ve written. I build on a theme if I can, but sometimes I can’t even come up with an idea of what the song is about.”

#BrionGysin #cutUp #cutup #experimentalWriting #KurtCobain #TinaBenitezEves #WilliamBurroughs

when hope is just another lie (do you believe that? macho macho man) … something the 80s sold to us : is it just me? as I walk down Poydras Street in New Orleans, I hear the chorus of “Boys of Summer” by Don Henley, not even a song I cared for particularly when … is it still popular? … and that feeling of being there or having been there that feels a little bit like joy : I hope … I buy me some of that, thanks. They meant it as a lie (to sell something), but it was a lie that was true. What they wanted was that we would be convinced … fool me once! … that hope is for pussinboots. Yeah, capitalism is bad boys of summer, but guess what! it hurt so good, don’t it? What I know is that it felt completely different to be alive then, and that feeling was real. I was happy. A lot of us were, we privileged middle-class white kids living in the suburbs … our garage bands, guitars and synthesizers, the robot sound of the future is now.

and speaking of hashtags (I'm still trying to figure this social media thing out) I'm going to start using #TheIrrealists to mark posts as part of public exchange of how to use #ExperimentalWriting to break up repressive social structures (in the mode of Kathy Acker #KathyAcker & William S. Burroughs #WilliamSBurroughs) ... and others

for more context see the essay by Kathleen Wheeler I posted earlier this week, here it is again

https://dalkeyarchive.substack.com/p/reading-kathy-acker

One of my experimental writing & publication projects is #NovaLetters , here's an example of a "deeper cut" which introduces Burroughs' concept of "coordinate points" mentioned in two of his cut-up novels

https://write.as/leadworth/coordinate-points

for fun I'm testing out applying terms from #DoctorWho to Burroughs' Nova concepts. A little for everyone.

'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.'

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

http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/masked-media/

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.

Unsettling received ideas of the author and the book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, Masked Media tests ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing through to GenAI. Thinking outside the black box that renders Euro-Western knowledge-making practices invisible – keeping the human ontologically separate from the nonhuman – it shows there’s no such thing as the human, the nonhuman already being in(the)human.

cipm: 8 mars, finissage de l’exposition al dante

rencontre, finissage de l’exposition Al Dante
samedi 8 mars 2025 de 15h à 18h

AL DANTE : FIN DE RAOUT

Frédéric Acquaviva, Amandine André, A.C. Hello, Philippe Simon, Benjamin Fouché, Jean-Marie Gleize, Virginie Lalucq

Un programme de lectures, performances et concert acousmatique mis au point avec Laurent Cauwet et Stéphane Nowak Papantoniou pour clore la séquence du grand raout Al Dante.

Remerciements au GMEM pour sa très amicale participation technique.

Au programme de la journée : 

• Frédéric Acquaviva
« Bonjour Frédéric. Je viens de finir d’écouter “No Soy Un Robot” et c’est inouï. Bien sûr mon commentaire n’a pas beaucoup de valeur car je ne connais rien à la musique en général et contemporaine encore moins. Mais alors que j’ai mis le disque tout en consultant mes mails et autres bidouilleries sur ordinateur, je me suis surpris à tout arrêter et écouter. Je me suis mis à entendre une sorte de vocabulaire des sons. C’est très interessant, marrant, curieux, grave vivant. Quand tout s’est arrêté “No Soy Un Robot” Frédéric Acquaviva, j’ai encore entendu… le son du vieux lecteur de CD, puis quand il s’est mis en pause, mes accouphènes. Bref, merci de partager ce monde sonore singulier. »

jim leftwich passed away

the bad news make me absolutely astonished, sad. my/our friend Jim Leftwich passed away. he had an heart attack. I’m still speechless and in shock.

as soon as I read the news, my first reaction was disbelief. but it was soon confirmed.

for more than twenty years Jim has been a great interlocutor for me, an inexhaustible source of critical dialogue, on experimental writing and verbo-visual art, but also on all the political questions that experimentation entails.

Jim was also a slowforward editor, a tireless promoter of other people’s work, writings, and connections. not to mention his primary role in the spreading of the practice of asemic writing.

I miss him so much.

this passing, with the passing of Peter Ganick, is a truly major loss for the literary community as a whole, and for me as a friend. I never met him in person, despite the thousand messages we exchanged, and I’ll never meet him anymore.

ubuweb is back – fighting with us

https://www.ubu.com/

February 1, 2025

A year ago, we decided to shutter UbuWeb. Not really shutter it, per se, but instead to consider it complete. After nearly 30 years, it felt right. But now, with the political changes in America and elseawhere around the world, we have decided to restart our archiving and regrow Ubu. In a moment when our collective memory is being systematically eradicated, archiving reemerges as a strong form of resistance, a way of preserving crucial, subversive, and marginalized forms of expression. We encourage you to do the same. All rivers lead to the same ocean: find your form of resistance, no matter how small, and go hard. It’s now or never. Together we can prevent the annihilation of the memory of the world.

speaking of #ExperimentalWriting, check out “Spandau: A Powerpoint" by Andrew Riddles in our sister journal, Frighten The Horses.

“Today I will tell you something about common assumptions I have made previously about the name #SpandauBallet…”

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!”

This was written by software. Better than that, it was written as #AlgorithmicSabotage. Check it out...

what makes a work #ExperimentalWriting?

i generally don't define it beyond, ‘i know when i read it’

which is insufficient

"I Am Sorry, But I Am No Longer Able to Speak About the Genocide” was submitted to #FrightenTheHorses, which is an experimental writing journal

i had a multitude of reactions, and i’m not certain it’s literature

but it raised enough questions to make me want to publish it

THIS WORK CONTAINS GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL HARM

https://frightenthehorses.com/i-am-sorry-but-i-am-no-longer-able-to-speak-about-the-genocide/

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.”

For its creator Alexandra Elbakyan, the Sci-Hub pirate library is the most radical and successful take on open access to date. But Sci-Hub may not actually be about open access at all.

There is also this incisive passage from Natasha Soobramanien and Luke Williams' collaborative experimental novel Diego Garcia:

‘… they had read experimental writing by white men as experimental writing, and experimental writing by white women as experimental women’s writing. And while experimental writing by black or brown men had seemed to read to them as experimental writing by people of colour, it was clear that to these judges experimental writing by black or brown women had read as bad writing. Whilst revolutionary writing by black or brown women and non-binary people … the judges had read as mad writing.’
