Visual Poetry: Hypergraphy Species Series   

AARPCV members enjoyed an evening of art and poetics in the studio of David D'Agostino at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. Some members even became part of the art when their voices were recorded.

Visual poetry merges poetry (text) with more visual (graphic) ways of communication such as painting, illustration or signs. This technique was first known as 'metagraphics', but later became known as 'hypergraphics'. Maurice Lemaître, a Lettrist theorist, defined it as communicating through the union of various forms of communication, as an "ensemble of signs capable of transmitting the reality served by the conscienceness more exactly than all the former fragmentary and partial practices (phonetic alphabets, algebra, geometry, painting, music, and so forth)."

David is currently experimenting with multi media techniques in critiquing urbanism and architecture in the field of liminal psychogeography.
