New Image-Text by Federico Federici (Berlin)



By Federico Federici (Berlin, Germany)


Acclaimed as a physicist, conceptual artist and author, I am proud that Federico Federici has been a longtime contributor of his work to the Asemic Front Project. Today I am very pleased to share new, and I think significant, pieces by Federici with the AF2 audience.

During the ongoing run of Asemic Front and now Asemic Front 2, Federico Federici has become a noted visual poet internationally, especially for his theoretically and conceptually based explorations of asemic writing. 

The Asemic Front Project has been extremely fortunate, to a modest degree at least, to document the evolution of Federici's work. He also has earned a place as a very innovative member of the "The New Concrete Poets" (aka "Neo-Concrete Poets"). His work has been of relevance to AF2.

http://federicofederici.net/ 

These Federici pieces titled "Nights on the Highway" have a spontaneous fieldwork, "on the road" quality. Federici, however, is not a vacuous Warholian presence mechanically documenting. Using juxtapositions of image (vispo by Luc Fierens is a fine example for visual poetics) Federici constructs a meditation on signification, representation, materiality & the simulacra.

Asemic Front 2 Commentary: "Cooking as Synonym 4 Jamming" by Adriana Kobor

 


Screensave vispo by Adriana Kobor (Italy)

De Villo Sloan in the newsfeed and my preprandial hypertension gives way to a superstition I can hardly overcome now.

Cooking as synonym for jamming. Jimming Pavlovian twinkles. Overhours over overhours. I can't let go of this strange feeling. Sinatra's synus node would nod on this.

Mine is a twinkling Hawkingian garbage bin.

Never mind, those happy hours sound like a faraway song in a vet's back office.

Death is always around as a doom. De Villo's poetic self's autohypnosis.

I would have preferred to write this with mere initials, but I'm so nervous right now that any abstraction would damage the encircled c's righteously unelliptic sphere.

The newsfeed is hungry, so we gotta feed it.

_______________________________________

Ouch. Hyperbolic pressure. Anisotropy.

Whatever you've done, you'll always be conscious about the fact that "you haven't done it (,) as well".

Those wee small hours of the evening must pass, a looming surgery of the surging thought.

The fool moon seriously damages the CNS, as bad weather does so with the PNS.

Neuronal pressure, axonal exchange. Spare me a light bulb, dear Darkness of midnight nuns. Nons. Noons.

And sorry for coinvolturism, De Villo.

As anything else, even this was only and exclusively written in the name of the lobotomized holey spirit, treated repeatedly with ECT. Etc. Et al.

- Adriana Kobor, September 22, 2021





Editor's Note: Adriana Kobor corresponds with Asemic Front 2 from Italy.
