Sharon Hayes, ‘In the Near Future’ (2009)
In the Near Future is a staged set of anachronistic and speculative protest actions in an investigation into the figure of the protester, the speech act of the protest sign and the contemporary political construction of public space and public speech.
Marcel Bühler, ‘The One Trick Pony’ (2011)
(‘I WILL NEVER AGAIN SAY WHAT I BELIEVE AND NEVER AGAIN BELIEVE WHAT I SAY AND IF A TRUE WORD ONCE DOES ESCAPE ME I WILL IMMEDIATELY HIDE IT BEHIND SO MANY LIES THAT IT IS NOT TO BE FOUND BACK AGAIN’)
‘Calculator haikus’, by Amos Latteier
Latteier wrote haikus by using the numbers on calculators to form words and then turning the calculator upside down.
“The calculator vocabulary is rather limited. I have come up with 118 words. I wrote a program to search the dictionary and select words that can be spelled using the letters that can be formed on a calculator. Among these are such choice words as gigolo, besiege, and ghee.”
Here’s one:
“Illegible blob
Legless eggshell oozes oil
Elegize his loss
Hellish shoe is beige
I slosh soil, slog hill
Hobble, oh high heel”
