Limited Fork Video Anthology

Thylias Mosswww-personal.umich.edu
On these video pages, the emphasis is on dynamic visual possibilities in active language systems --possibilities that arise from interactions and associations between sights, sounds, and textures, on multiple scales in multiple locations. These visual experiments in poetry are Video POAMS (products of acts of making) that explore what happens when the visual is allowed to extend beyond visible text, and when the page is not required to be paper (though it may still exist that way). The Limited Fork Video Anthology features examples of some of the forms of poetry that Limited Fork Poetics enables and encourages. Look for video poams from student and other practitioners (forkers) of Limited Fork Poetics in this frequently updated podcast. Visit the Limited Fork podcast to learn more about Limited Fork Poetics and to see video poams by the mother of Limited Fork Poetics. And for the the sounds of Limited Fork, visit the Limited Fork Music podcast. Many of the soundtracks from the Video Poams are available at the Limited Fork Music podcast.

Friezed Framed by Friezes video quilt

Digital quilting of interior images (by Shaelyn Smith) and exterior still & moving footage (by Thylias Moss) of the demolition of an historic University of Michigan building in the further documentation of an exploration of the nature of what contains and the nature of what is container, a dual & simultaneous possibility, the status of container or contained determined by perception prevailing at the moment of perception (the eye of the beholder). The complex textures and structures reve...

Angie's statement: "This piece is intended to serve as a silent, guided visualization of what it might look like to re-enter the world after one survives an apocalypse. I mean "apocalypse" as the kind of life crisis that consists of an explosion: this may be a literal one, or it maybe the aftermath in which we find both our hearts and our dreams completely demolished. This piece of art is one I watch when I lose faith in myself. It of course is a visualization that I watch on my iPod as I walk t...

Pleasurable Complexity

This movie poam debuted at the "Pleasurable Complexity" Limited Fork poetry event on 14 September at the University of Michigan. The theme is "place value: implications of the lattice." 37 layers (communities) of interacting language systems (communities) are latticed in the making of this poam. Poams related to this theme, including a "Pleasurable Complexity event book," may be found throughout all three Limited Fork podcasts: Limited Fork, Limited Fork Music, and Limited Fork Video Anthology. ...

"Lattice Looking" slideshow

A video poam exploring implications of the lattice in conjunction with the "Pleasurable Complexity" Limited Fork event on 14 September. A variation of the image sequence is also woven (interacting) into "Latticed Shadowbox Suite" which also features work by KC Trommer, a Limited Fork practitioner, and cellist Pablo Casals performing a suite for cello by Bach. Related poams are available in this and other Limited Fork podcasts. These poams are part of a lattice of inquiry considering notions of p...

Latticed Shadowbox Suite

This video poam is an unintended collaboration that in the lack of intention becomes a lattice itself, a community of interactions from multiple locations intersecting on a number of levels (or lattices). The compatibility of KC's video, and the spoken language with Ansted's images seems designed rather than incidental, yet it wasn't until I had these separate components for the Gallery exhibit component of "Pleasurable Complexity" Limited Fork poetry event that I realized the benefit of seeing ...

Ethical Words

a poam (product of an act of making) by a practitioner of Limited Fork Poetics. As is typical of constituents (or members) of a complex dynamic system, this poam also attempts to locate the ethics on the many levels (or scales) of a traumatic situation. The silence is significant, of course. Angie hopes that this poam might also be useful to those confronting similar situations.

Place Value

A video poam exploring scale and the simultaneity of experience in interacting language systems which form and reform poetic structures as a consequence of the ways in which their existences fold and unfold. "Place Value" is also about the location of poetry and the need for people to be receptive to the incredible readiness for poetry exhibited by all that exists. The poam considers how value both is and isn't assigned to instances of this incredible readiness. The soundtrack is available from ...

Hiroshima

A video poam that explores interactions among sets of embedded interactions and sets of exposed interactions. The suppression of the sonic suggests the holding of breath during a prolonged gasp.

Project Genealogy (why I wrote SLAVE MOTH)

This movie poam from May 2005 explores what led me to write the narrative-in-verse SLAVE MOTH when my son, the composer of the soundtrack for this short piece, was in sixth grade at a grade-six-through-twelve school. During a meeting, some parents wanted to ban a required ninth-grade ancestry assignment that was embarrassing, humiliating, and demeaning for disclosing that their sons could trace their ancestry no further than slavery. Right away, I realized the need for other models of slavery so...

a poam (product of an act of making) that explores what lies at the fundamental level, at the heart of interaction --understandings of what happens in connections that explore chromatic manifestations of meaning. What Jen's ideas about Limited Fork Poetics look like, sound like.
