7/16 p2

a lot of terrible books become better when fragmented

disconnected — deconstructed —

books of words
pages of words
arrangements of words

fragmenting meaning

(my project is different from a humiment — not sure how to phrase this idea that just came to me — maybe it’s not true —
maybe i don’t want to preserve the original context even in non-readable form — (ongoing project — i like the way he has redone the book several times —
try something similar digitally —)
take scans of pages from old books — use public domain ebooks —

new media offer me so many of the tools and abilities i wanted for so long — but i’m not using them —
—
ASIDE
glancing at the bachelard & lippard there are so many words — to reread —

the density of texts —

maybe one of my ‘ideas’ is to make text less dense — i don’t like the look of a roman letter book page — chinese & other languages seem more open — better to look at —
there is no beauty to western text

7/17

another morning i feel like doing nothing
still don’t feel like writing for the web or writing to K
or anyone else
