How is image and the process of working was linked to the internet and technology?
Charlie Gere’s book ‘Art, Time and Technology’ informed early thinking here, but specifically it created a fascination with Samuel Morse, whom he discusses in an early chapter. Also, Morse’s relationship to this question is extremely prescient, and It seemed to made sense to use not only him as a character in my story, but also Morse Code itself.
Halfway through the writing of story one, the aim was to create more playful, multi-plicit and fluid working process influenced by ongoing research, and introduce experimental elements such as: shifting the narrative and timescales and rearranging past and present. This was Inspired by the fact that Morse code, and later technology had itself allowed information to move from one place to another at lightening speeds and in doing this, this fact has itself altered our/humanities understanding of time itself.
In spite of its associated complexities and controversies, Derrida's basic formulation of the nature of language is relatively simple, a formulation which, placed in the context of the collage paradigm, takes on its fullest significance. Grammatology is "poststructuralist" in that it replaces the "sign" (composed of signifier and signified-the most basic unit of meaning according to structuralism) with a still more basic unit-the gram. It is a question of producing a new concept of writing.
