why pulverized poem

Proposed constraint: each participant generates 17 minutes considering the above as a simple score (each letter represents one minute, the contribution can be broken into 3 parts of 3 mins, 10 mins, and 4mins. Doesn’t mean every minute needs to be accounted for (contribution can even be totally linear) but we can use the letter-device later to create the overall structure (I’ve been studying dna mutations to think about frameshifting, substitution, recombination, catastrophe, etc.).

Charred

“You can’t begin a poem without a bit of error about yourself and the world, without a straw of innocence at the first words.”
– “The Library is on Fire“, Rene Char

Proposed constraint: we use the Char poem openly for sampling texts and images (everyone makes use, in some way, of at least one text or image from the poem).

Error Catastrophe

Judd — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:25:03 +0000

I was going to suggest that we each research and consider — at some point in our interventions — an “error catastrophe.” This term has more meanings than its wikipedia entry (mechanism by which a virus mutates itself out of existence) suggests.

Denial of Error

Judd — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:20:13 +0000

The area, as it were, which opens in the interwovenness of being, unconcealment, and appearance — this area I understand as error. Appearance, deception, illusion, error stand in denite essential and dynamic relations which have long been misinterpreted by psychology and epistemology and which consequently, in our daily lives, we have wellneigh ceased to experience and recognize as powers.

The Library is on Fire

“The Library is on Fire. These were the code words [during the German occupation of France] for a parachute drop to the Cereste maquis of the French Resistance — words that acquired a mysterious life when one of the containers exploded and set fire to the forest, alerting the Gestapo to the position of René Char’s group. The Frenchmen barely escaped with their lives. And the poet thought the fire was proof of the power of language to shape the world. “I believe in the magic and in the authority of words,” he told his superiors in London, insisting the code be changed.”
