Sharp Facts: Some Selections from Translating Translating Apollinaire 26 / Nichol, bp., 1980
Nichol demonstrates "copying machine disintegrative tendencies" by repeatedly putting the same text through four different photocopying machines. The text breaks down until it gradually disappears, so that "the machine is the message." The process is the same as that employed by Emmett Williams in a series of poems that are held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
