heya linda,

 yr right, it does...........mite b more appropriate 2 conceptualize it in 
terms of the algorithmic......or crystalizations............[tho these 
still smakk of the organic 2 some degree].......

yup, the ecology [or netology?] shaping should b considered as vastly 
differ[ing]ent......

sure l, good idea:)

......mezangelled texts r produced & trans.lated in2 a variety of lvls, 
each coded ][with][in their own meaning trajectories..sometimes i'll wurk 
x.clusively within email editors 2 create a mezangelled piece, which i'll 
then send out & hope 4 co-collaborators 2 contribute 2 it....other times 
i'll send a direct english|poetic translation of the mezangelled text 
straight after....& then i can even merge these 2 in a more 
multimediac|interactive format..... ppl can then choose 2 utilize their own 
personal cues/x.traction abilities according 2 the form that is more 
appropriate [ie email text or translated poetic text or even flash if i 
mutate it that far]..............i'll b.gin with the initial concept which 
may spring from lines of text|code that i've been noting in separate 
email-editor files...then the structure usually m.merges from this, via a 
method of appropriation [ie mimicking of a international relay chat 
transcript or actually using 1 that i may have participated in, or a 
stretch of stylistically (or executably) -breathtaking code]..........

......i employ a melange of ico][de][nographs, fragments of programming 
language-shards [mostly Perl] + operating system echos:: tree-structure + 
wildcard refs, booleanisms, unix shell commands, html + java script 
conventions, ascii, all in semi-random but heavily stylized patterns...the 
randomness exists in the formulation, as i'm sure i somehow n.nately follow 
various rules of thumb[s] that rn't consciously apparent [2 me, 
anyway:)].........the repeated allusions 2 hyperlinks via bracketing of 
meanings [hopefully] lead 2 alternative curves to absorption & 
understanding....[almost a mimicking of the x.pansion of the potentialities 
of co:d][iscours][e].......the main ele.ment][al][s that keeps mezangelled 
creched in the netwurk is information trawling, the draw][l][ of netwurk 
language & symbol con][inter][ventions & the collaboratory n.tent, & this 
is often where the texts leave conventional authorship-attribution lines....

....i always write & send via email listings, MOO environs etc in the hope 
that the wurk will spiral out in2 a collaborative e.vent....even if the 
scissored textings don't e.voke a direct response, the fact that the 
method, formulation & *.exe.][elo][cution r geared 2wards it means 
mezangelle could not x.ist without the netwurk as a sub][im][mergence 
arena....it is more this aspect that allows 4 the identity tags 2 function 
as meaning|creator cues than actual severing from 'my' text as such..........


> do you often use other texts, random texts and has this latter aspect 
> changed over time?

absolutely....mezangelle first began with[in] the 7-11 & nettime mailing 
lists [b4 nettime became heavily moderated]........back then the m.mphasis 
was more centred around active textual manipulation of items that were 
being sent 2 these list....m@ [who has now morphed into the artist better 
known as meta] & i would take it in turns 2 content-alter tracts using 
scripting-emulations...this content alteration has now shifted 2 
manipulation of other artists works, & this makes 4 some amazing 
collaborative wurk][ings][s............

lab.ishly,
mez
