Scope and Contents It should be noted that Bohn does not differentiate concrete poetry (words only in Sackner's definition) from visual poetry (integrated words and images in Sackner's definitions). Bohn also includes a chapter on digital poetry. The back cover reads the following. "Visual poetry can be defined as poetry that is meant to be seen. Combining painting and poetry, it attempts to synthesize the principles underlying each discipline. Visual poems are immediately recognizable by their refusal to adhere to a rectilinear grid and by their tendency to flout their plasticity. In contrast to traditional poetry, they are conceived not only as literary works but also as works of art. Although they continue to provide visual cues that aid in deciphering the text, they function simultaneously as visual compositions. Whether the visual elements form a rudimentary pattern or whether they constitute a highly sophisticated design, they transform the poem into a picture. Reading Visual Poetry examines...

Scope and Contents Colin Fulcher aka Barney Bubbles (30 July 1942 - 14 November 1983 death by suicide) was a radical English graphic artist, whose work primarily encompassed the disciplines of graphic design, painting and music video direction. He is most renowned for his distinctive contribution to the graphic design associated with the British independent music scene during the 1970s and early 1980s. His symbol-laden and riddle-laden record sleeves were his most visible output.Hellorinis "Hellorinis" Amazon.com writes: "I was not at all familiar with Barney Bubbles the designer. I knew some of the images by Bubbles but the story and the context of his work is incredibly interesting. I was not prepared for the superb quality of both the book's design and the quality of scholarship and research put into it. This is a hardcover book with lots of text combined with images, and filled with stories from those who were part of the various scenes Barney had participated in. Printed in excellent paper....

Recent Experiments in Holopoetry and Computer Holopoetry, 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-08058-8218
Scope and Contents

Kac comments on "Adrift," a holographic poem commissioned for the Sackner Archive. It is composed of 7 words that dissolve into space along the Z axis as the viewer reads them back and forth. The letters that make up the words are floating freely along the Z axis except for the word "breathe," which is somewhere integrated into the overall light field. This word blows life to the other words as its letters actually move away from their original position to dissolve again into the light field. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Reinventing the Wheel / Helfand, Jessica ; Apianus P ; Duchamp M ; Eggers D ; Acconci V ; Apollinaire G ; Hesse E., 2004

 Item
Identifier: CC-42292-44302
Scope and Contents This book served as the catalogue at the Grolier Club exhibition in New York but was published one year before the exhibition. The Sackner Archive lent two works to the exhibition.tSTEP inside design, March/April 2003 review: Lately I've been indulging in books of unusual visual richness, and for me the most exhilarating illustrated book of the season is Jessica Helfand's Reinventing the Wheel. Helfand is a designer, a scholar, and as the book shows in spades a passionate collector of ephemera. The ephemera in question here are those odd wheel charts widely used from the 1920s to 1960s for purposes as diverse as telling fortunes, managing diets, identifying birds, spotting aircraft, charting the stars, and learning French grammar (remember the Cuthbertson Verb Wheel?). Helfand's gorgeously designed book reproduces more than a hundred of these volvelles, as hey're technically known, traces their history back to early astronomy indeed to the properties of the circle itself as a...
