Cock in 21 successive tracings left to right >'kcoc'



This file was processed in response to another poet's complaining of ANOTHER poet's use of the word too much, and couldn't s/he choose another word....? SO, I asked Ana. The remarkable thing about this particular early Ana file is that the words appeared tracing after tracing, successively, without any editing whatsoever. Delivered. Pre-packaged. Spectacles testicles wallet and watch. Out the door... window... portal... portico. Pleasingly plump too.

DiVizio's first ever note with Ana


Searching today (Monday January 15, 2007) in Ana's memory for references to Asbestokan and Hijikatta,
DiVizio came across this file and suddenly recalled that yes, in fact, it is the first note he ever took with Ana I,
an old MP190. It was at Asbestokan, after we'd seen a film of Hijikatta's making. The note was made while listening to Akiko Motofuji, Tatsumi Hijikatta's widow, as she presented her recollections of the beginning of their work/studio and includes DiVizio's thoughts concerning the differences of artistic tradition among cultures. Divizio remembers the eery green glow issuing from Ana's illuminated screen, sitting in the midst of the audience, in the darkened studio.
