Thank you Sam! Swedish? I think they were New Zealanders, you can hear them on the 'antithesis' section, and this was shot in Melbourne. I hadn't been thinking of Godard, but I see what you mean, it is dialectical after all! I was actually thinking of Hollis Frampton's Nostalgia, in terms of sound/image dispacement, although it's somewhat different structurally... yes DL is back: a project in its own right or somewhere to syphon the surplus, probably both, one idea is to experiment more specifically with the written/spoken textual aspects... but, you know, things can easily change. Thanks for the Danish visual poets, very interesting.

ah, I see it's Swedish visual poetry!

indeed:
it is newzee speak
(but it sound quite swedish in my ears, at least one of them, but then again: have not yet been down under, under)

re: the swedish visual poetry: one has to forrage a bit on the site, as there are many troves hidden.
