Subject: Inscription or Light Emission
Inscription has a very old meaning...

Now we are writing and communicating with differences of light
conditions brought about through code and human action. Is this an
inscription or a string of focused time-based light emissions -
configurations of light?

I am suggesting that any word always has an embodied relation to the
world. Along with this is the potential of media element
constellations or time based compositions of these light emissions
(and/or sound as in spoken text - another aspect of
writing/communicating...this is what my practice is about. My writing
is also deeply linked to spoken intonation...

A change brought about through code on a display promotes a set of
configurations of perturbations that change over time... and delivers
to the mind the potentially focused actions of the author, and or
potential intermingling of authors - inter-authorship.
