Words: I think itself is really sophisticated art that we are connected to everyday lives. As I love visual arts(cause you know, I’ve been majoring visual arts since 11 years old - and now it’s been more than a half of my life), sounds(music), and dance(movement), they are not easy to access every single moment/minutes/seconds. However, in some various ways, we are surrounded by words, either forming itself as oral or literal. The most fascinating thing that I observed in English as a foreigner is the fact that using CAPITALS can be both oral and literal expression. Words in line regarded as a static status, but when they are written in all CAPS, readers feel exaggeration and louder sound scales. One of the reading material in Performing Online class, even though the context was way different from the poetry itself, the differences between poetry and prose aroused in one of the paragraph. It said the main classification is becoming from the content, intents of the writer, and the delicacy of words. However, for me, what we define as a poem is more visual oriented. As somebody did the last assignment based on the line breaker, and the example that Dan shared also showing the visual construction of words. Therefore, why not? CAPS can make mundane infos into visual formation, creating new sense of poems. We can select a words we want to highlight, or make really passive, useless words be more spotted: with USING CAPS. For me, the later version is more interesting, so I’ll do this week project based on this protocols.

The text I choose is quoted from a book “figures in Air.” As I always driven to the audio scales and the origin, currently I’m trying to figure out what’s driving me that curiosity. Maybe hoping that this algorithm can unveil the sounds from the text.

[original text]

So as we listen now to our tape and observe the relationship between our memory of the original duration recorded and our unclocked sense of it via the audio representation, we are left with a somehow related, but additional impression of the duration. This is an overlay in the most lucid moment, but quite likely is cause for what Jean Piage called a “deforming assimilation,” which we produce via an egocentric desire to relate the sameness of our experiences rather than to understand deeply the difference and construct new schemas for what is possible based on subtle interference.

[changed into CAPS]

So as we listen now TO our tape and observe THE relationship between our memory of THE original duration recorded and our unclocked sense of it via THE audio representation, we are left with A somehow related, but additional impression of THE duration.

(fyi… the first week assignment is more fit to this week. So I added word count version of it at the last)

Reflection: it turned out only article and infinitive regarded as a so called ‘less important’ words in the sentence. But, ordering them in a row with CAPS, seems they have the crucial point. But simply arraying them didn’t make any context.
