Writing Machines / Hayles, N. Katherine ; Phillips T ; Danielewski M ; Williams E ; Paschal H ; Seaman B., 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-47936-68959
Scope and Contents This book is written about the author as if someone else is making the observations (a pseudo-autobiographical narrative). From the back book cover: In "Writing Machines", N. Katherine Hayles explores how literature has transformed itself from inscriptions rendered as the flat durable marks of print to the dynamic images of CRT screens, from verbal texts to the diverse sensory modalities of multimedia works, from books to technotexts. Hayles weaves together intellectualized theory and pseudo-autobiographical narrative, the cultures of science and the humanities, and through her collaboration with Anne Burdick, the mandates of writing and design. Hayles inaugurates media specific analysis in literary studies, investigating words that focus on the very inscription technologies that produce them. She analyzes three writing machines in depth: Talan Memmott's groundbreaking web hypertext "Lexia to Perplexia," Tom Phillips's artist's book "A Humument," and Mark Z. Danielewski's...

Identifier: CC-42413-44423
Scope and Contents This book is the first sustained consideration of the manifold infiltrations of the written word into the visual arts from the nineteenth century to the present day.Publisher: "From the cut-up Cubist collages of Picasso to the monumental filmic narratives of Fiona Banner, and from the schoolboy subversion of Magritte to the demotic scrawl of Cy Twombly, the use of words is one of the defining features of modern art. Indeed, with many contemporary works, only those without text are remarkable. Exploring the strange, unsettling, and often humorous results when words escape their traditional confines and inhabit artworks, this book is the first sustained consideration of the manifold infiltrations of the written word into the visual arts from the nineteenth century to the present day. Simon Morley traces the growing bond between word and image, explaining how artists have harnessed the resulting tension to form identities, challenge authority, and make sense of a world in constant...

Writing Surfaces: Selected Fiction by derek beaulieu and Lori Emerson, editors / Riddell, John ; Sackner MA., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-56294-9999726
Scope and Contents

In Writing Surfaces, derek beaulieu and Lori Emerson present a collection of John Riddell's work. Riddell's poems and short stories are a remarkable mix of largely typewriter-based concrete poetry mixed with fiction and drawings. Riddell's oeuvre fell out of popular attention, but it has recently garnered interest among poets and critics engaged with media studies (especially studies of the typewriter) and experimental writing. This book is an anthology of Riddell's published and unpublished works. It should be noted that the typewriter poem entitled 'Morax' totally differs from the piece with the same title published in Kontakte Series 1 No.1, a periodical held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-58227-10001481
Scope and Contents

Internet: Masterpieces, the cliche goes, spring fully formed from the dark imaginations of temperamental geniuses moved by intuition, inspiration, and epiphany. Such revelations can certainly fuel the creative process, but so too can auspicious accidents, false starts, or even failures. In printmaking, these occurrences are typically recorded in preliminary impressions known as working proofs. Printmaking thus affords an exceptional opportunity to examine this complex and contingent aspect of the creative process. Yes, No, Maybe looks at sequences of artistic choices by juxtaposing fully resolved prints and related working proofs produced at the influential studio Crown Point Press between 1972 and 2010. This catalogue also provides background information for the proof copies of Tom Phillips Dante's "Inferno" that are held by the Sackner Archive, -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
