In a Landscape Fonssagrives is Clamming [A Retort of Sorts] [...]
James
Clerk
Maxwell
strongly
opposed
Darwin's
theory
of
evolution.
Armand
Schwerner
begins
his
Gloss I w/:
kiki's stylized abstraction
precede's garbo's dramatic individuality.
Punctuated Equilibrium
in terms of the work
of Margulis and Sagan
might be effectively
translated into the
chthonic acts of consumption
which form the foundation
of our understanding
of protoctistan omnisexuality
and the normalization
or especial laterals
enjoyed by nuclear organelles.
"Nature makes no leaps"
as compared to
"Art adores the leap"
might both be said to co-inhabit
a semiotics whose temporal origin
can never be definitive, a semiotics
enjoying an instrumentality not unlike
the game called "Pacman"...
Armand Schwerner's Seaweed eschews both
the systematic metaphor, and the metaphoric system
and remains within a special case of parody related closely
to Swedenborg's correspondences as evidenced in works like
the Arcana Coelestia.
If Armand Schwerner's Swedenborg is Semiotics, then
Jack Spicer's James Clerk Maxwell is Pacman.
Charles Darwin is Greta Garbo
dressed in Seaweed.
