gammm @ discord per la ricerca (letteraria)
in inglese su discord esistono vari server di letteratura. ma nessuno che, in italiano, si occupi di ricerca letteraria.
ora c’è: https://discord.gg/7qxE5QnbwP
in qualche modo prosegue l’iniziativa (indipendente e in fieri) “Esiste la ricerca?”, avviata con l’incontro allo Studio Campo Boario (Roma) il 16 giugno 2022: https://slowforward.net/2022/06/16/oggi-16-giugno-a-roma-esiste-la-ricerca-incontro-allo-studio-campo-boario/
la scelta di prendere “gammm” come incipit del nome (invece di usare semplicemente “scritture di ricerca”) è dirimente per delimitare gli ambiti tematico-formali che sono in campo.
quindi le zone di sperimentazione di cui il sito https://gammm.org si occupa da sedici anni in qua: montaggio, cut-up, googlism, scritture concettuali, uncreative writing, littéralité, post-poesia, prosa in prosa(-e), flarf, scritture installative, generatori di testo, scritture frammentate / disturbate, minimal writing, found texts, sought texts, percorsi procedurali, scritture non assertive, musica sperimentale, critica non stilistica.
anche, ma in misura forse minore, materiali verbovisivi, asemic writing, glitch, arte contemporanea (più o meno in rapporto col fronte della testualità).
tendenzialmente non ci si occupa invece di performance, di videopoesia, di poesia visiva, di poesia sonora, di letteratura interattiva, di programmazione, di romanzo, di teatro, di cinema, di animazioni.
as ex. asemic expressionism, or abstract expressionist writing / jim leftwich. 2022
Once upon a time, long long ago (20 years), in a far far away place (Charlottesville, VA), I claimed to have identified a category of visual poetry called (perhaps only by me) Decorative Expressionism. It was busy, crowded, colorful and noisy. I liked it a lot — for several reasons, one of them being the fact that I was making quite a bit of it myself.
If anyone had asked me at the time (no one has ever asked me), I would have told them that Decorative Expressionism was the exact opposite of asemic writing.
Ah yes, time goes by and with a little “luck of the research and reading” (recollected and ruminated upon in tranquility) maybe we learn a thing or two. How does that old hit single go?
What I didn’t know then
What I don’t know now
.. some other stuff in there, I know… 45 years ago… anyway
I would have been wrong.
That was back in the early days of this current iteration of asemic writing, when some of us still thought the prefix ‘a-‘ meant “without; not having any.” Little did we know that the prefix ‘a-‘ was soon to take on the meaning of its opposite, “poly-“. “Without, not having any” semes came to mean “having many” semes. “Absolutely thwarting the production of meaning” became “open to the invention of all imaginable meanings.”
It was a transformative moment in the history of all things asemic.
When Jackson Pollock woke up in the morning, he already had a lit cigarette balanced on his lower lip. He visited his Jungian therapist every Tuesday at 2pm. They played chess, drank beer, went to Yankees games, and chased the stately, plump pigeons through Central Park.
You’re getting better, Jack, said the Jungian therapist. Getting better all the time.
Thank you, said Jackson Pollock.
Alchemy of the vowels, Tantric Sex Mandala, said the Jungian therapist.
I don’t believe in The Accident, said Jackson Pollock.
He walked down the crowded sidewalk past The Tavern to his studio.
He lit a cigarette, opened a beer, took off his shoes and socks.
He spent the rest of the evening working, late into the night, doing The Dance of the Collective Unconscious, In The Painting.
That’s pretty much how asemic writing is still made today.
So, the next time someone tells you myriad hymnal nightpoets, hurrier, nebula nebula, tell them you know all about asemic expressionism. Maybe they’re living in a book by Donald Barthelme. What do you know? Empathy is all about effort. Let there be no bullshit between Practitioners of The Craft and Sullen Art.
polyasemic thinking: a brief future / jim leftwich. 2022
One thing I particularly reinsinuate about the idea of asemic writing is its persistence. Once the idea gets inside a brain, it refuses to go away. It mutates and proliferates.
Once the asemic cat got out of the bag, it set off on a mission to conquer the world.
There is a kind of pareidolia prevalent among practitioners and theorists of asemic writing; we may not see the face of Jesus in a greasy frying pan, but we do see quasi-alphabetical shapes just about everywhere. It is hard not to be joyfully reinsinuated in the presence of such a life-affirming mutagenesis of ubiquitous formlessness.
No matter whether we experience it as pre-word or post-word (I could make a case for either, or both), once the virus of asemic writing invades and occupies the brain, it imposes the shape of its cultural desire on everything in its path.

“asemic sound cycles” by félix-antoine morin [& other/older performances]
Asemic Sound Cycles at Galeri Salihara
April 10, 2022 – April 24, 2022
Asemic Sound Cycles (2022), by Félix-Antoine Morin, is an exhibition specially developed for the Salihara Arts Center (Jakarta, Indonesia). This exhibition consists of a series of graphic scores on polyester film as well as a sound installation in the center of the exhibition space.
Asemic Sound Cycles consists of a series of graphic scores on polyester film as well as a sound installation in the center of the Salihara Gallery.
Félix-Antoine Morin’s graphic scores represent existing musical forms whose basic structures are drawn from his repertoire of compositions. By this process, Morin maps out the metamorphosis of sound phenomena through a rhythmic and poetic graphic expression. He encourages the ambiguity between musical notation and pure pictorial symbolism.
The kinetic sound installation arranged in the center of the space is inspired by the “locked groove” technique, an expression invented by Pierre Schaeffer in the mid 20th century to describe this phenomenon in which the needle of a record player falls indefinitely in the same record groove. In the same way, this sound installation follows a unique circular route. This consists of a microphone that reacts like the needle of a record player on materials and textures arranged throughout the floor.
Asemic Sound Cycles is an exhibition specially developed for the Salihara Arts Center.

§
Félix-Antoine Morin’s graphic scores represent existing musical forms whose basic structures are drawn from his repertoire of compositions. Through a syncopated visual construction, by which he instinctively creates new connections between signs, he shifts the initial writing toward material abstraction. Preserving traces of the sound origin, the accumulation of elements gradually transforms each composition into an autonomous language that no longer references music.
By this process, Morin maps out the … [click to read more]

First solo exhibition of Félix-Antoin Morin in Turkey: Asemic Sound Mappings (Feb 19th – Mar 12th, 2022):
[…] The graphic language of the artist does not tend to have a fixed meaning, leaving the interpretation of the works free to the viewer, encouraging the ambiguity between musical notation and pure pictorial poetry. The artworks at the “Asemic Sound Mappings” exhibition display layered elements moving in the void, carrying rhythm to the surface by simultaneously expressing Morin’s musical and pictorial sensibilities […]
