The end of ECP

The European Centre of Poemics (Europejskie Centrum Poemiksu) doesn't exist anymore. it was a "simple society" (stowarzyszenie zwykłe), based in Lublin, Poland. there is not much going on in the world of poemics, and especially I'm not doing anything here. perhaps we need a change. I've closed the poemics forum http://poemiks.fora.pl. I'm not planning to post on this blog in near future. if anyone wants to become an administrator, please let me know. we had some nice projects, and I hope that the art of poemics will be remembered.

all the best to you all!

Tree-Blogging project covered in ARTNews article this month

Back in January, I included work posted on the poemicstrip blog as part of a social media performance/art event ("Tree-Blogging") that I was coordinating with @Platea.  That project is briefly discussed in an article on social media art in ARTNews this month.  It's toward the end of the article.

styczno

just a simple piece (something that perhaps can be considered an asemic poemic, but the bacground layer - pieces from a legal act about foreigners - makes it less asemic).

the title "styczno" is a piece of a word "turystyczno", which would mean touristic. so it's about foreigners that come as tourists.

wait, I read it again, and I found that it's not an act about foreigners, it's an act about a duty to tell the local authorities where you stay. there is only a section about foreigners in the act. perhaps it's something similar to the Supreme Court poemics in a way.
