The text for this print is a personal prayer to be recited by women when they light the Shabbat candles.The style of lettering is known as the Veiber-Teich font and the image is a typical Eastern European candelabra. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-40495-42467
Scope and Contents

Ana María Uribe (1944-2004) was an Argentinian poet whose writing practices and poetry resonate with our historical moment of transition from analog to digital media." Uribe was inspired by a poetics that led to close affinities between the use of the page and the capabilities of digital media: The concrete poets tied onto Mallarme's innovation and revolutionized spatial conventions byturning space into an integral component of the poem with semantic significance. The flat, twodimensional surface of the page, however, is fundamentally redefined on the computer screenonce again, for the poetic space of the screen is radically different from that of the page on numerous levels. Firstly, it is kinetic and interactive: letters can move and migrate, positions ofletters and words are no longer fixed and static, but in flux and transient; they are no longer predetermined but potentially open for creative interventions (Schaffner1" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
