White and Blue

First of all there is Blue -Paul Auster

1.
First of all there is Blue. Later there is White, and then there is
Black, and before the beginning there is Brown. Brown broke
him in, Brown taught him the ropes, and when Brown grew
old, Blue took over. That is how it begins. The place is New
York, the time is the present, and neither one will ever change.
Blue goes to his office every day and sits at his desk, waiting for
something to happen. For a long time nothing does, and then a
man named White walks through the door, and that is how it
begins.

Sound of the solar system

After a lot of talk and thinking about Pythagoras' way of putting the planets in a notational system, I got this link to the project Solar Beat by whitevinyldesign that shows the solar system being played.

Listen to it and watch the years go by.

Curator Derek Beaulieu's introduction to the project:

INTRODUCTION TO UBUWEB: VISUAL POETRY

UBUWEB began as an online repository for concrete and visual poetry scanned from aging anthologies and re-imagined as back-lit transmissions from a potential future. As the archive has progressed, the concentration on visual poetry has waned in favour of an reconnoitering of diverse avant-gardes.

UBUWEB: VISUAL POETRY exposes little-seen exemplars of historical praxis and models of contemporary insight to a wider audience. This section includes anthologies, ephemeral publications, criticism and sporadic journals dedicated to visual poetry. Due to the elusive and ephemeral nature of concrete and visual poetry publications, there is a perceived lack of innovation in the genre. Without exposure to radical practice, artistic precedent and innovative models, concrete poets too often fall back upon familiar tropes and unchallenging forms.

UBUWEB: VISUAL POETRY is not presented under the rubric of historical coverage or indexical completeness, but rather as a document of isloate moments of what Haroldo de Campos argued was a "notion of literature not as craftsmanship but [...] as an industrial process" where the poem is a "prototype" rather than the "typical handiwork of artistic artistry."

Performing "Horizon. No Horizon"

This September the postcard series "Horizon. No Horizon" was performed at dEFAAKT I Walk The Line Performances (originally the closing of Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival). The score was spontaneously performed by voice and movement by a small choir, put together of students and staff at Oslo Academy of Fine Arts: Ragnhild Aamås, Aeron Bergman, Silje Johannessen, Constance Tenvik and Henrik Mojord Jahnsen.
