From what I know of your project, I think the 2nd idea is best. If that is the focus of your piece, it makes sense to have it be the content. I think whatever phrase, sentence, etc. you are able to ground your piece's purpose in is the right way to go. And I think it's a provocative question. Vera Hey Ashling,

"What Can Be Lost" because it really makes for a provocative piece and the anagram with all the letters of the alphabet. Just thought I'd put in my two cents. -Alex, Arts Grant Board Hey Ashling,

Just this morning I read this sentence from Thomas Pynchon's Vineland: (the context is that the speaker is contemplating how easily the government could erase all record of a human life as simply as by eliminating a file in a computer) If patterns of ones and zeros were "like" patterns of human lives and deaths, if everything about an individual could be represented in a computer record by a long string of ones and zeros, then what kind of creature would be represented by a long string of lives and deaths? Anyway I thought of you. Write it, get it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick – rewrite it.

(wishing she was just next door) Thu, 10 Jul 2008 08:21:45 +0000 http://binarypress.wordpress.com/?p=11#comment-3 Beautiful Shling, I am always amazed, impressed, and so proud of all your work. Even just this website is great! I can't even wait to see your project. Will I have to see it in the making? Is this the one you won't even get to see yourself because of epic Oxford adventures? I'm sure it will be extraordinary, you deserve all of this girlie!! Ok, on to business: besides you yourself loving the title, I think it's important for you especially (because you have such a great one) to give a little bit of Shling-personality in it. On this note, I would nix number 4 right away. Number 3 same deal, unless you came up with an original one. Number 1 I like as a whole--being your brief intro then the colon then the words (I can totally picture you being excited about them!). My favorites are number 2 because it sounds like something you personally are passionate about, and number 4's first sentence (sans the typo "thenotion") because it's your favorite and I can also picture you being excited about it! It is clear a) that I have too much time on my hands and b) that I love you a lot and can't wait to see what you pick! Beautiful Shling,
