1989. ottotole

I'm glad that the internet has made things more accessible but I still miss having work in paperback book style publications like ottotole. I'm sure such publications continue to exist but the ones with more esoteric content have probably mostly either stopped publishing or moved to the internet. Other book-style publications are probably even more commercially-driven than ever.

The original piece that this is a remake of was called "Dyslexic Variations" & was in my 1st book:

1977. t he bk, t he referent 4 wch consists of, t he non-materialized transparent punch-outs from a letter/whatever stencil

This was one of the earlier pieces of mine to use computer software. The earliest one could be said to be:

1973. student flowchart

& the next contender was probably:

1981. prikalkulilo ktp

Access to computers wasn't very common for me at the time but my roommate, John Sheehan, had one so we used his. We were both working for a medical lab in the electrical engineering department & the software used was a medical one that John had accessed at work.

The 2 "corrected" paragraphs, 3 & 5, were probably generated using a medical spell-check that tried to pick the 'correct' word for the dyslexic words in their preceeding paragraphs.

This same piece had been previously published in Chris Winkler's excellent (S)CRAP 6.
