observation

when you see something, or any sensing, there's always some heuristics
going on, so that in a split of a second prior to recognizing this or
that, you move through a lot of patterns. you can time-stretch this by
looking at something unfamiliar. or look until it becomes unfamiliar -
when the heuristics exhausts the object and moves on. so in both ends,
the construction and destruction of patterns. the a priori patterns seem
like appearances while the a posteriori a disappearance, and might be
different, maybe because neural patterns have direction, comes in one
way and leaves in another - leaves in one end and roots in another. the
difference between intuition and fantasy? fantasy in the destruction of
patterns? reactionary fantasy - hollywood, feasting on dead patterns,
the livingdead, and projected back from the future as science fiction.
could we then say intuition concerns future, and fantasy the past? in
the life of a perception future comes first, then the perception, then
the past. is that different from reality? my future moves into my past.
but since i'm inside myself, and the perception comes from outside, the
two are inverted. for the object the now is constructed, while the
future and past are given, but for the subject it's the other way
around. and these distinctions - it only means that we need distinctions
to distinguish, or the other way around - which are the same pair again.

the world is complex, it's a shadow world. it wouldn't be a surprise if
the most concrete is the least significant - this is also problematic,
in the shadows. significant is shadow. are there two shadows - like
intuition and fantasy? sun - thing - shadow, how could we call the sun a
shadow? when is intuition fantasy? looking at the sun will destroy the
eyes, so it has to be shadowed, that would be like saying the future has
to be shadowed from the now. then fantasy comes in, intuition is fantasy
in the now. but if you want to give it a direction, or a perception as
directedness, it stretches, which is obvious again, direction =
stretching, and we get time and the distinctions.

would we say 'in the beginning, all was fantasy' or 'in the beginning,
all was intuition'? and in the end, all is fantasy. when perceptions.
and without? what kind of perception is it to imagine perceiving
something that doesn't contain a perception? or since this is the usual
thing, rather the opposite - perceiving something that contain a
perception? i'm seeing something, the seeing contains the seeing
(fantasy direction), or where seeing doesn't contain the seeing
(intuition direction). 'in the beginning' : nothing is seen; 'in the
end' : everything is seen (but nothing happens).

Upgraded ELO Website

2005-05-23 Thread Benjamin Basan

--- BEGIN ANNOUNCEMENT TEXT ---

The Electronic Literature Organization is pleased to announce that their
substantially upgraded website is now in place at
http://www.eliterature.org.

To help explain what electronic literature is and why we find it so
powerful and compelling, the ELO's new site includes a showcase which
features exemplary works, new and old. The five most recent showcased
items are visible at the top of the main page, and everything
featured to
date is also accessible. An RSS feed of the showcase is available so
that
readers can automatically keep bookmarks to the current entry or
syndicate
the showcase on their own sites.

News items from July 2000 to the present, along with other pages on the
site, are now easily searchable, and recent news is also available by
RSS.
The news can also be accessed by category and by date. We hope these and
other features of the site will make it easier for us to provide
announcements and news that interests readers and authors.

The ELO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1999 to
promote and facilitate the writing, publishing, and reading of
electronic
literature. Since its formation, the Electronic Literature Organization
has worked to assist writers and publishers in bringing their literary
works to a wider, global readership and to provide them with the
infrastructure necessary to reach one another.

Hand-written insert into

Hand-written insert into

A Pocket Dictionary (Chinese-English) and Pekingese Syllabary by Chauncey
Goodrich, Shanghai: Kwang Hsuel Publishing House: 1933, representing the
214 radicals in a prose composition:

One down points to the left bent barb, two above men. Man enters eight
limits to cover the icy bench over the box of knives strong. He wraps a
ladle in a box and conceals it with ten diviners with joints under the
cliff with selfish right. At the third mouth of the enclosure the earth
scholar follows moving slowly till evening a big woman son. Under the roof
she inches along like a small lame corpse to get sprouts from the mountain
streams by work for her self. He gets thirty caps and shields for his
immaturity needs covering then move on till she gives him a bow, dart, a
boar's head, a plumage. Steps away for her heart like a spear from a
window a hand with branch strikes like an elegant bushel of axes. Squares
without sun she speaks under the moon of the wood still owing and asks him
to stop killing viciously. So he denies and compares his hair, name,
breath, fire, and the claws his father crosse. At from his coach he slices
like the tooth of an ox or a dog and the black jade melons on the tile so
sweet. We produce use things from the field with a cloth roll to keep off
disease as back to back with white skin we dish them before our eyes.
Lamas and darts on the stone reveal footprints grain the cave as set up
with bamboo rice. Silk threads of pottery are in a net of goat's feathers
of one who is old and yet able to plow with ears like pencils. In his
flesh the statesman from his arrival at the mortar with his tongue opposed
the boat of defiant color. In grasses a tiger and insects draw blood to do
up the clothes from the West with the sights of horned words. In the
bitter time of walking from the city with a winejar, each separate mile
near gold pieces (from the long) doors. When the mound is reached,
short tailed birds are in the rain on the green with wrong faces of
rawhide, leather, and leeks. At the sound of book leaves in the wind they
fly to eat the heads of the fragrant horses with bones on high. My hair
strives with the herbs and I offer to the vase of spirits, fish, birds
from the saltland, dear and wheat. Hemp strings and yellow millets, black
embroidery, toads, tripods, drums, and rats, noses. Even the front teeth of
dragons, tortoises, flutes.
