Conflatio / Byrum, John M. ; Grumman B., 1990

Scope and Contents

The title of this book, "Conflatio," derives from the Latin and with an 'n' added means a fusing together according to Bob Grumman's introductory essay. Each page depicts an image of a neural network in its upper half and a grid of nine, spread-out letters in its lower half. For example, the first page can be interpreted as the first loss of "Eden." "Evaginate," the word spelled out by in the second page means, "to unsheathe or take a grain out of the husk; also to tureen a tubular organ inside-out." But the network accompanying the word is richly and thickly clustering. This putting "Eden" behind yields the best grain? And acts - VER/MIC/IDE being the next text vermicidally? -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
