I totally agree mr. Sakkis! I still look back to her lecture on silence...one of the most subtle yet extraordinary sensibilities, not just as a person who writes but as a person who lives(the distinction lying in the quiet way her considerable passion consistently/constantly exuded itself), i've experienced...i've since been thinking a lot about the mapping project i began in that wrkshp, as well as thinking about collaborative and generative constellations, the also extraordinary and subtle Norma Cole got me thinking about last summer...how might the mapping of silence interact with a person/poem and how does that formal exchange or action distribute itself among the rest of signifiers/collaborators/subjects...er, but also rely on its connection to agency, to be able to speak, to be able not to speak, how can we map/read/write our silences in a meaningful, collaborative, performative way, so as to gather or accumulate meaning versus being overcome by the noise. Marlene Nourbese Philip has a book investigating some of this called Looking For Livingston. Yet, how might this body (this body being mine, yrs, the constellations and collaborations we are part of consciously or unbeknownst to us) body reexamine my relationship to the field/action/reading/writing of silence. While it seems to break down to questions of otherness and ethics, something nags at be about the process of this mapping this reading and the disruptions, irregularities and problems that arise or are produced from, by acting towards silences...okay, no more...thank you for the picture, It makes me happy, er, the short movie rocks as well!
