begin anywhere — any book can be begun anywhere
an experiment I should try
a book that folds out like computer fan fold paper
one that folds out like a map (which one can never get folded right)
intersection of writing and painting — a page from a book becomes a section of a painting
which in turn could be a page in a book)
I like the idea of things reducing beyond comprehension —
and also expanded so that a page of text say normal size 5 x 8
in a painting say 25 x 40 would be reduced to 1 x 1.25 in the painting as a page)
also the idea of expansion — taking a segment of text and enlarging it —
especially a segment from a couple of lines so that the letters would not be readable as words)
binary states — the idea of basing a text on a grid (as in computer print out)
and then rearranging the dots into different variations
progressionregression
infinite loops
apply some sort of random method — fractal texts
the possible arrangement by dates by going back through the notebooks and putting
things from each day in order for example start with Jan 1 of all years then go to Jan 2
the notes to other notes would come completely out of context
content out of
completely
come
mixture of drawings and words
unique book make from pages from different sources
the idea of publishing books that each would be unique
an extension of Saporta’s boxed book except that all could be different —
or all part of one — for example 360 pages could be divided into different 60 or 120 page books
in different permutations — how many different books — 360 pages taken 60 at a time —
or one could buy the full 360 and make his/her own permutations —
could be 360 different 359 page books each with one page missing
