2010 EMAIL ANNOUNCEMENT LIST:
AND OUR FACES, MY HEART, BRIEF AS PHOTOS
For the duration of 2010, John Berger's And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos, will slowly be typed, word for word, and sent out in daily emails using an announcement list.* Each email will consist of a small text, most likely the size of a single paragraph, and take no longer than a minute to read. Similar (in size and time) to the quickly written email - those emails that come into our in-box, like text messages, and grasp our attention only for a moment (a moment of continuous distraction where you are not really there and nothing is really achieved -only the perpetuation of continuous fragmented stimulation). The attempt here is to play in this area of distraction, and, over time, attempt to to generate through accumulation and agglomeration, a larger, continuous and more graspable thought. Or maybe, through fragmentation, the book will be lost.
I am also hoping, and requesting, that if you write fluently in a language other than English, that you translate the daily texts. As the book is slowly transmitted it can also be slowly translated simultaneously into different languages. If you choose to do this, I suggest that it is done in the form of a simple blog. If you email me the URL of the blog, I will post it here (please be committed).
FIRST EMAIL WAS SENT JANUARY 17.SEE THE ENGLISH BLOG FOR OLD E-MAILS.
* These will only be daily as long as I have internet access that day.
This continues from the email announcement lists of 2008 and 2009.
Sometimes these emails will end up in your SPAM FOLDER. Better to mark the email as "not spam" before this happens.
