Document Summary
Leotard argument on what"s happening to knowledge/communication in digital age. Or openness of democratization of knowledge. (terror/justice and the battle between the two). Collage is practice of a theory of knowledge. Antirational and semi-intentional, it takes disorder, coincidence and chance materials as part of method and inspiration. By eliminating transition, it e braces ambiguity, improvisation, speed and multiplicity of meaning. It places priority neither on closure, nor on conventional notions of completeness. In the constant conversation between unity and disunity, juxtaposition plays with omission and collision. The stutter and the singular words floating on the page. I would add the () that suggests multiple meanings of simultaneity of meaning as in (un)said or (t)ravel/un(t)ravel. I would add punctuations to which new relational functions have been assigned such as. / ; = and a relational function for the white space of the page itself. New reader conventions for poetics on the edge of speech.
