Oh, right. Sorry. But that’s something he’s still into apparently, except now he wants to take her whole idea of inventing a new body language, the kind where meaning only occurs at the edge of its becoming lost, and remix it into a form of video performance art that literally interfaces with the whole MOOC phenomenon. Bodily speaking, enacting a simultaneous and continuous fusion of the actual sensory data as it’s being transmitted to the host medium.

I love Acker’s idea of locating meaning at the edge of language becoming lost. Once you let the language speak itself and it starts losing track of where it would otherwise be expected to go, that’s when the story can start tapping into its mythopoeic potential. i.e. COMPOSITION BY FIELD (perhaps a better use of the unconscious neural mechanism memory turns to for interoperable remixability)

Totally. I know exactly what she means too. It happens to me all of the time when I’m fully lost in the writing process. It’s that moment when whatever we call the “ordinary” escapes from us while we’re writing, and we’re left with nothing but this adjacent possibility of becoming something else, that space of mind where language itself becomes something else, something strange, and instead of self-correcting, we run with it, operate on auto-compose, and see where it takes us next. Spontaneous sketching. Approaching writing as a structured improvisation. Improvise and revise. But not giving in to “craft” per se. More like tuning one’s instrument to transmit what Kerouac once referred to as Deep Form. But how deep is Deep?
