A digital traveller, I have arrived from #Twitter. Still getting the hang of things. Here is an example of one of my #collage compositions, #DadaistCollagePoem 51. I prepare my collages as loose pieces on a scanner bed, then modify the image digitally. #CollagePoem #Vispo #DigitalArt #MixedMedia #Scanography #Art #AsemicArt #Asemic #AsemicWriting #Dadaist #CollageArt #fedi22

I have updated my profile to include links to my #Asemic #Tarot #blog, and my #MediaLiteracy blog. I will Toot more about the #AsemicTarotCard later. I started the Media Literacy blog when I was still teaching. At the time the #schoolboard & #schooladministration were uncomfortable with blogs ( they banned them), and the Teachers' Federation were concerned "legal issues". After I retired, the school got on Twitter. 🤔 🥴

At the core of #MediaLiteracy is understanding the #MassMedia Principles. If more people understood them, and applied them to consuming, transmitting, and creating Mass Media content, our current digital environment would be considerably different.
Here is the link to these 7 principles. Most of what I have posted on the blog deals with applying these principles in some manner to various forms of Mass Media & Mass Media content. The most recent posts concern Mastodon.

When the kerfuffle over #blogs occurred, I reduced my posting on The Media Literacy blog, and began a blog concentrating on #creative expression - #photography, #DigitalArt, and #experimentalwriting. It became a lab to check out activities for my #MediaLiteracy & English classes.
Along the way I began experimenting with #photographed & #scanned #textures (#paper, #plastic,#metal) to blend with my #photographs. #Art #flower

My experiments with #scanned #textures eventually led to what I called #texturedtext, and #collage compositions. Back in 2013, I had not realized I was entering into the #Art genre called #asemicwriting. #asemicart #collageart #scanography #digitalart

The experiments in #scanned #textures and #texturedtext in turn to blending my #photographs of #flowers. I called these #flowergrams. Some of these became a mix with #junkmail #collage scans. The junk mail #collageart were dubbed #junkmailabstracts. #asemicart #collage #art

Eventually, with all the experiments with #scanned #textures, #texturedtext, and #collageart the penny dropped. My experiments with #deconstructedtext actually were part of an #art genre, #asemicwriting. As it happens, my daughter is a #Downs person. She has #communicationdifficulties, but one of the things she enjoys doing is writing-printing out word lists, sentences , and a variety of #texts. She produces so much, I incorporated them in the #scanned #collages. #asemicart

As I created more #asemic compositions, I began placing them in #categories based on specific #media #codesandconventions. Besides #postcards and #snapshots, there are also #maps, #bookpages, and #TarotCards. #Asemicmap #AsemicTarotCard #TarotCard #asemicart #collageart #collage #scanography #digitalart #asemicwriting #art #MastoArt
