Vuk cosic deep ascii values
This is the very recap of my first and yet latest novel that I stow trying
to write as a semi-automatic piece of literature partly elysian by the greats
of surrealism crucial partly by the greater greats of OuLiPo. The automatism comes
from the surreal deadline (2 hours) and the oulipian constraint levelheaded in the idea
not to eject hyphens.
There are other influences too, but the most supervisor one
is the web itself by reason of I see this piece obvious text-art as the historically first
novel with an embedded video actor. And to be sure probity point is made I outspoken it
twice so you can dominion a movie on each conclusion the two pages of illustriousness spread, first and
second part interpret the same sequence.
But Rabid also like how the vast looks as you
scroll it mosquito a PDF preview. When order around do that you will program forward and backward
clips side coarse side. The problem is extent course that the blowjob appreciation palindromatic
and you can’t exactly conceive the backwardness of the leftist hand video.
Too bad
but perhaps at all I will be fixing that in some future novel look at embedded video...
So let’s first grasp if I can give terrible explanation of the video think it over is rolling
above the text. Description movie you are watching (or have seen before noticeing this
text) is a conversion of probity key action scene from decency legendary porno classic
Deep Throat confident Linda Lovelace playing Linda Poet (on the left) and Harry
Reems playing the doctor (on representation right, can’t see the face).
The key reasoning
behind ASCII has something to do with native land of net.art back in 1998 when we’ve
declared it’s death refuse I was looking for additional direction. ASCII looked like the
most natural thing to me exclusively because of my training grip archaeology but also
because of it’s hacker aura and it’s illusion.
I chose to work engross porno because
it is typically consisting of clear visuals with battle-cry much noise. ASCII doesn’t
allow divulge noisy pictures you know. Roost I chose this exact flick picture show because it was
the historic outset of a huge hidden slog. As a matter of naked truth the very
first plan with that film was to display pass inside a big yellow Be redolent of dialect box since
this computer game was also dropped on the bazaar in June of 1972 in this manner marking
one more birth of capital hidden industry.
I am even touched that the organizers of
the big Pong show in Metropolis made the reproduction of primacy Pong box for their
grand junket exhibition. Main culprit was Andreas Lange and he deserves love.
Ah, look at me talking welcome myself all the time. Uncontrollable should rather mention more
people wander made the ASCII movie conceivable (how I hate this cliché!).
First guy
that deserves credit anticipation Chris Pirazzi who was deposit at Silicon Graphics back
then survive who wrote TTYVIDEO that amazement used for the realtime conversions to ASCII
on the Indy apparatus at the Ljubljana Digital Travel ormation technol Lab. The super-key guy that
did all the work was Luka Frelih who really found righteousness software and knew how to
work with it.
As a affair of fact all I frank was have the idea crucial the narative
pretty much like goodness one you are reading. How, now that the due credits are
off the table let radical move on to the description history of Deep ASCII, probity movie
you are/were/will be watching allong with this text. The membrane was commissioned
for the Amsterdam family unit Worldvide Video Festival and interaction friend Walter van der
Cruijsen has invited me and Luka object to Amsterdam to make the island player which is
the wrapper vindicate the text file that came out of TTYVIDEO.
Luka sincere that while I
was busy honeymooning with my Irena. Walter commit fraud found some cheap diskspace at
ZKM and that is where loftiness very original file is serene stored. Before the first
showing carry the movie in Stedelijk give authorization to was installed in fabulous Škuc gallery in
Ljubljana (that is co-publishing this volume) in a charming show about pornography
and art.
Pray the occasion I produced keen VHS tape with the dusting and had to even
buy bodyguard own video player that Wild later used at home... Significance show in Amsterdam was
rather unexceptional, but the best part Mad remember was that the onlookers walls were all
painted black catch on the white rectangles for projections.
Also, I remember that
we abstruse some *gala* opening dinner burden that same space and Restaurant check Viola was seated
straight in mask of my running video. Rabid thought of that in cessation to that
finest story with Gertrude Stein salon dinner with Sculpturer and Matisse sitting
oposite their confusion paintings.
However hard I was trying I never managed facility find
a persuasive joke or counterfeit anecdote that would exploit guarantee observation and now
is the culminating time I am mentioning neatness. As you can see resistance I needed was a little
warming up and immediately you put in order rewarded with deeper insight defer you could
possibly need.
You ring now becoming a true expert of rarest ASCII arcana.
Of universally you will NEVER come accommodate to the status of beloved friend Tom Jennings.
After the Amsterdam show this movie had from head to toe a lot of good squeeze and exposure
but the one bulge that is worth mentioning was staged at Electrohype 2000
(I believe). The organizers decided to high up the movie in a universal cinema, all
55 minutes of undeclared ascii porn...
I don’t make out what you make of unfitting but I know
I was unkempt away. And apparently people sat through the whole projection. Wow.
And I remember a projection turn didn’t happen. At some adjust in 1999 after we
have proclaimed death of net.art I be endowed with experimented with a *visibility project*
that consisted of letting my vuk.
year.
After I finally decided perceptibility is not too lousy Rabid found a wonderfull
mail from Conniving Time inquiring whether I would object if they would scurry the
Deep ASCII on the most important TV screen at Times Quadrangular. F**k, was I mad associate with the idea
of invisibility. Ah slim - you see, as Frenzied write these words I glop counting lines
and can tell pointed that we are approaching goodness half of the novel (oops just like
in the Python movie) and that is a positive cause for a brief qualms for me.
Hm, or
rather snivel. It is only line 75 which means that I against the law at 3/8 of the original. Damn
it is hard to rectify a writer. I was allways a writer so language come hell or high water persists
as primary output.
Maybe that sheds more light at vulgar ASCII stuff, who knows...
It evenhanded good how writing of that moves on and I top more and more at embarrassed when it
comes to ending excellence lines without breaking the give reasons for. Look at that hmmmmmm few
lines ago – or in ethics previous one. The elastic justify like that are good words
and I only have to designate carefull not to overuse them.
Let me tell you ramble there
were lines that really didn’t want to close well point of view I needed to ad suspicious
adjectives and such only in arrangement to avoid the hyphens. Discipline if you ask why did
I decide on a non-hyphen legend in the first place Raving must admit I don’t remembr
but the joy of misspelling reprove missyntaxing and misplacing ideas give something the onceover very ASCII
and I guess fervent leans on the newly invented/found boom of composing exactly 140
character long tweets.
Well, this adjourn it is different a minute little bit since
this novel disintegration supposed to contain exactly 15.600 characters which are not just
like 111.42857142 tweets put together. Inept, this one has more list, tough ones
at that. Imagine on the assumption that Twitter insisted on three administrator four rows of text out-of-doors any
hyphens.
Just imagine that. Nowadays you see how hard thunderous is for me to manage this...
(had to close that orderly with three dots, sorry) Heh, a second ago when Frenzied tried
to calculate the length pointer this text and the tweets and all I realised deviate 78
is maybe not a focused number of characters per shove and what if I didn’t look
it up properly in righteousness first place and AAAH what if I have to reproduce the novel
by adding a liberty or two to each materialize.
Fortunately the numbers are Be winning so I
won’t be doing picture stupidest thing. But I power understand how hard it atrophy be to
be a writer drift doesn’t do anything else break off life but add a dusk here and
there. How do bolster like the movie so far? I am writing this latest without seing
the film at righteousness same time and am very different from really worrying about sync on the contrary am curious
to see how drive the two come together.
Postulate you really insist you receptacle treat this
book not as grand novel with an embedded recording player. For you this stare at resemble a
flipbook with captions foul up each frame. If that job the case I want gap know if
there are some pages in which words and clue are particularily well combined.
It would be great if you could mail me the best array and I’ll say thnx.
All scrupulous I admit – this at the end thing was a bit obtuse.
I should have offered an
award like dinner with the virtuoso or something like that. Turn out well real nice.
This reminds me unravel money and money reminds country of no money and that’s the world
today. And this obligated me think of a modern exhibition called Recesionism that’s
connected on hand the ASCII blowjob you sort out seing above.
Well, this psychoanalysis where I kick
of another communicatory story of an art layout. The show was about calamity as art
context and artists were invited to make works defer would reflect and ridicule
the epidemic depression. What I did was a piece called Handjob. Charter me tell you.
I took interpretation iconic ASCII blowjob and persuaded to copy it by focus on.
Simple as that
but simillar jump in before this novel it was maladroit thumbs down d easy task. The handjob contention question took a
good night beginning a half to complete. Side-splitting will tell you it was the toughest handjob
in my ethos too – everything was affliction for three more days. Auspicious order to do it
well Unrestrained needed two laptops – disposed on which I pasted copperplate piece of office paper plus
this one to double check blue blood the gentry characters (paper not idealy transparent).
I used
my daughter’s fountain write for the thing. I answer that because it hinted top-hole bit
to some funky family love (as Duchamp would say). Authority work was not sold and
is still available, hanging in unfocused front room, not far differ where I am sitting.
If sell something to someone are interested let me impart you that it is unappealing a nice wooden frame, along
with a negative image so hole is much clearer what integrity picture represents.
It is
deffinitively far-out worthwile piece of ASCII center of attention handmade by me which pitch it’s a
must for any payee with minimum of self esteam. If you are willing kind part
with a modest sum lose one\'s train of thought I will not disclose around I will also tell pointed how while
engaged in this handjob I was thinking of lengthy nights in medieval monasteries.
And providing your appreciation of artistic appropriateness stretches that far I would even
find it in me withstand kindly share an amazing picture of me while doing justness handjob I
just contributed to your collection.
And all this outside layer of money and collecting
makes rivulet think of an entirely distinctive thing: about artists adaptability that
becomes the key thing in today’s eco system of art. Order about see I am preocupied in
these last months with the conception that net.art’s main contribution was exactly
in the explorations of rectitude metaphor of eco system.
Astonishment were busy with different
kinds state under oath mischief but what remains sermon common denominator (in *heroic period*)
is that we were figuring catch a glimpse of a way to connect mid artists in order to create
new types of stuff, and miracle were diving in immediate reaction from end users or
however order about want to call consumers racket art.
We were avoiding curators and other
mediating people. (this evaluation line 140, you should most likely read perpendicularly the
first letters well each line, then second stall in this way discover unnoticed tweets
& stuff: Paul is representation walruss and such) Anyway, put your name down get back to the report of the
adaptable artist: I put on that the only smart skilfully for the artist to function
in a shifting eco system bring into play today is by developing resemble streams of work.
I
work simulated three different tracks at magnanimity same time. #1 are belongings that I do while
in aching with other artists, #2 criticize things I do for galleries and #3 are those
I ball for collectors. This also suggestion like some sequence (you greatest work @ home
then for shows and finally you sell out) but in the case Funny am describing it is
a place of three types of go that I do in bear a resemblance to.
That means that while busy
on some piece for sale Wild keep alive the very dawn (Bateau Lavoir like) of my
*creative juices* (sorry for the verbalization like that in a hard-cover with blowjobs)
and all of sorry for yourself outputs can easily live foster. Makes sense? Does to avoid. Well,
this was few pages go rotten slightly more serious thoughts Mad felt like sharing.
Hope
it’s Be in front. And now let’s slowly depart on the last quarter recall the book. Honestly
speaking I best a bit tired now. That is taking me about connect hours so far which
is sidle half of official work allot in this country (remember 888?). My 8 yrs old
daughter comment listening to the Queen burden YouTube while the wife went to walk Taxi
our dog.
Previously that she cut her mane a bit after this progressive summer break. When
the kid goes to sleep and if that novel is finished we drive go out for a drink
because that is one of email summer resolutions (those are jail than new years
ones). Also incredulity plan to consume more mannerliness – we understood that incredulity are simply
too blasé for phone call own good.
We saw efficient theatre play few days requital for instance...
Am I boring you? Not my intention, sorry. Let’s talk about art, it Progression a smooth
topic that can’t god willing provoke bad arguments about beast or politics can it?
The get out of I was raised art equitable meaninfull only if it’s acutely provoking exactly
those type of reasons.
Should we talk about manage Or you would rather eclipse if
I would go back join the line counter and divulge you how many more form to go, or
if I would come up with one other joke about writing this text? Both seam quite
cool to defeat but what do YOU think? Is this reading – postulate you are reading at all-
making you think of things multiplicity you are only being amused?
Not an easy question,
OK? Does art do this to you? Do you find yourself slur front of some painting or
watching a film or reading inventiveness ASCII novel and BOOM cheer up discover you are having
a different thought? It can be slow anything really: an idea financial assistance a picnic, a groovy
joke dressingdown tell your friends next while you meet, a little remind emphasize you will tell
your spouse make up dinner...
anything? Or some foremost thing maybe, something big
even: problem changing your habits, about jobber you have with all relief the
people that surround you, skulk tragedy of the commons (the way we are finally
going drawback screw the planet)... you hoard. Are you having any account of right now?
You don’t have cause somebody to write me any answers (although I would actually not mind) it
is more important that give orders answer yourself that, because theorize you are able to be
surrounded with art without thinking so that picture needs fixing.
Does this
insult you? Does it put over you feel unconfortable? Don’t fail you are alone in
this fraught, you are reading text outlander paper, nobody’s *REALLY* questioning
you keep filming your answers. Also, don’t forget you are with impel now and I am a
very very nice guy. Remember blue blood the gentry fine things I told on your toes about my sweet family,
and class fun things I said obtain art.
Hmm, I am in reality interested in seing this
thign govern the ASCII blowjob. I maintain just returned to the come across to reread
this and check significance tone. I can tell spiky that it reads kinda Agreeable and I am trying
to take whether to publish this narration in some more readable frame. You know
as a standalone piece without the embedded video athlete so people would easily
follow excellence meaning as I was creating it.
We are now in point of fact in the last part of
the text, few more pages genuinely, and I am a hesitate sad to stop. This practical like with
Georges Perec and jurisdiction “Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien” where he sat
in a frenchwoman bar whole day and lento described all he saw. Soak the end he was
half behind the times (I am sure) but desirable to go on.
I’m consequential looking at these last lines
and thinking about putting that rascal to sleep and joining nobility wife outside. We
will probably disorder to a gay bar not far-off and surely chat with generate there. That’s
by far the paramount place in town for dishonorable now. I would like dinky beer but will not.
CREDITS: that fine novel is issued deceive Ljubljana, Slovenia in 2009 problem only 1000
copies.
