gliTchXT (disrupted asemics & vispo) by Lanny Quarles

 


By Lanny Quarles (Texas, USA)



Moving ahead with the Asemic Front 2 glitch text vispo series (woven among other interests), I am thrilled to introduce this work of extreme relevance by artist & writer Lanny Quarles from Dallas, Texas, USA.

Lanny Quarles is an experimentalist in novel forms of text & image disruption & distortion (among other efforts), deconstruction & reconstitution (see work above). Quarles is a master of disrupted image-text while not necessarily using the same digital sources & method as most of the glitchtexters. I think the result is of equal brilliance & new directions.

Quarles is likely well known to the AF2 audience. He is not, however, with the "usual suspects" in the self-identified asemic writing community (no antipathy suggested) or the various conceptual writers attached.  This might help account for his, sometimes fierce, individualism & originality.

Many thanks to Lanny Quarles for sharing this work with AF2. I look forward to including more. Quarles' piece will be of interest in terms of composition & process as well.
