Jonathon Keats: Jargon Watch

“Space Invaders n. pl. A nickname given to the transposons responsible for injecting reptilian and amphibian DNA into mammalian genomes 15 to 46 million years ago. We have good reason to dread the return of the virus-borne gene reprogrammers—their first appearance coincided with mass extinctions.”

” … there is a fundamental requirement which the various kinds of concrete poetry meet: concentration upon the physical material from which the poem or text is made. Emotions and ideas are not the physical materials of poetry. … Generally speaking the material of the concrete poem is language …” (Concrete Poetry — A World View. 1968.)

DADAMETER – Global index of the decay of the aura of language

“The Dadameter is a tool for the profiling of language at large scale and the historical tracking of artistic and literary movements. It brings about a new alliance between art, science and global finance.

Christophe Bruno (2002 – 2008)

Walter J. Ong – 90, Jesuit, Teacher and Scholar of Language — NY Times Obituary – Aug.12/2003


“In that modern culture of secondary orality, he [Ong] held, people do not learn language naturally as part of growing up. Instead, he argued, they absorb it from television, compact discs and computer programs.”

Crystalpunk: For the Advancement of Doodle Knowledge


“Crystalpunk is a simpleton stampede, a coxcomb carnival, a daydreamers cabal, a platitude-peddling potlatch, a nihilists ambulation on tiptoe, an incantation of the language in the corners of your eyes, a wild farrago of those who run before they can walk, an ABD of being Free from the NOW! NOW! NOW! We wear non-matching socks: that is who we are!”
