Car Amicas e Amicos,
in mi pigre recerca de apprender le lingua anglese, mi amor-odio de mi
vita, ora io recipe, tres vices per septimana, un e-mail como illo que io
vos propone hic juncte.
Iste texto anglese me es familiar; le anglese es simple. Io ha introducite
inter () essayo, comportamento, gesto e fundo, como quatro terminos que io
ha desiderate consultar in CEID per Gopsill e Sexton.
Anque interlingua ha concorrite pro le facile comprension.
Io propone un suggestion pro interlingua:
publicar textos de interlingua via e-mail, o iste lista, del mesme
qualitate de iste texto anglese, pro semplicitate, comprension,
diversification del themas, uso del vocabulario, comparation con le cinque
linguas de base, et cetera.
Que dice vos?

Ciao,

Mario

Visual poetry

READING:
The Monocromi di poesia (Poetry monochromes) [...] can be
considered one of the results of that experimental research on
the poetic language which is a fundamental aspect of my artistic
activity.
They are the fruit of a new consideration of the linguistic value
of some poetical materials I had experimented between 1971 and 1972
as part of an analysis of the relations between word, image and
matter, and they are also the fruit of the attempt (essayo) to re-introduce
them as fundamental elements in an experimentation of poetical
behavior (comportamento) based on the relationship between word and gesture
(gesto),
verbal and iconic-gestural signs.
So the relationship can no longer be qualified as a neutral
background (fundo) receiving a verbal or chromatic inscription but, through
the manipulatory gesture, the manifestation of a mode of behaviour,
which becomes an active and integrated moment of verbal and
gestural communication, while the chromatic choice expresses
the psychological nature of the creation, a well-defined and definable
moment of the mental and perceptive spectrum.
(L. Viola, 1975)
