6/30 p7

another shitty day

sound of the cats (The Voyeur - in the labyrinth — count pages —

images from Robbe-Grillet — how long will it take to get 360 — an underground passage with — pages at this rate — smooth walls

(is it necessary to read Robbe-Grillet)

<for me or for the reader — i don’t know what i meant — note the different arrangements here which should be returned to a two page format — (my question is answered on the next page) (but where do the parentheses belong)>

to understand this book

<self exegesis>

(a line from Jefferson Airplane comes to mind)

<which line>

how can all these associations be tied together

should they
should there be parentheses or brackets around these lines

the spacing is wrong (too tight) this should be a column space

spatialization

floating paragraphs — (not paragraphs — get rid of sentences and paragraphs) the way phrases break off — questions become statements or different questions

ambiguities

multiple meanings
floating signifiers

ideas for an appendix of rejected forms and structures
ideas for alternative structures

<the changing layouts emphasize the arbitrariness of the layouts>

use of computer etc — interactive reading — the reader could make his/her own structure by moving words and paragraphs around

< <it's hard to get away from thinking in terms of paragraphs — the difficulty of finding new words to convey new ideas — i was trying to think of one today but i forgot what i was thinking about>

the use of lines etc to connect the word ‘floating’ on the true page etc

graphs
graphos

jun 1988
questions become statements
statements become questions

ambiguities
multiple meainings
floating signifiers
