This book is the printed version of Goldsmith's retyping of one day of The New York Times. Goldsmith writes, "I am spending my 39th year practicing uncreativity. On Friday, September 1, 2000, I began retyping the day's New York Times, word for word, letter for letter, from the upper left hand corner to the lower right hand corner, page by page...When I reach 40, I hope to have cleaned myself of all creativity." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Diagrammatic Writing / Drucker, Johanna., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-58515-10001736
Scope and Contents Comments by Johanna Drucker on internet: The concept of the "diagram" is vaguely defined in common usage, used to refer to a broad variety of schematic images"”graphs, charts, anatomical images, working drawings and so on. By working towards a tighter definition, we might use the term to refer to a specific category of graphical expressions that spatialize relations. These relations, I suggest, are themselves meaningful"”they are a kind of poetics, a bringing into being of meaning through articulation and expression. The materiality of this poetics of relations provides a way to analyse its formats and features"”to get at, to grasp, to read, see, describe, elaborate the particulars of diagrammatic expressions. The even more specific attention to writing, to written discourse organized in graphical form, exposes the workings of diagrammatic activity within the field of visual verbal activity. We depend upon these, but rarely stop to describe or discuss their structuring principles...
