Attention SPAM / Zelevansky, Paul; Ronell A; Calvino I., 1997

 Item
Identifier: CC-37967-39849
Scope and Contents

The primary focus of this essay is the forms of reading proposed by contemporary, commercial magazines and books, with consideration of related concepts in pop music and electronic media. It raises the question of what it means to read and interpret when the parameters of visual and verbal signs and contexts are transient and mutable. Zelevansky asks "what does scanning, sampling, hypermedia, etc. mean for the creators and consumers of books destined for the new electronic superstore? The future of the book form is entwined with the future of reading." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Col-umns / Cross, Doris., 1982

 Item
Identifier: CC-18749-19123
Scope and Contents

Cross reworked dictionary columns "leaving found words precisely where they exist in the columns of Webster's Secondary School Dictionary, 1913 edition. The found words then comprise the statement. Words as objects, textures, movements, spaces, sounds: words supporting words, even as a column is built of mortar and stones." The appearance of Cross' work is reminiscent of Tom Phillips' A Humument. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
