Lorum Ibsum

This came to mind after reading Objects. I took the classic typsetting language, Lorum Ipsum, then went through and re-arranged the words by sound in an attempt to replicate the style of aural over informational. Of course, since Lorem Ipsum is meant to look like latin, the overall effect isn’t exactly as ‘flowing’ as Gertrude Stein’s is, but I’m highly amused by the result, and enjoyed (in a somewhat perverse sort of way), doing this. Perhaps a Roman would think it very cutting edge.

  1. I'm not really sure here. Your attempt is applauded, yet the depth of your piece escapes me. The connection from this to G.S. is felt in the random nature of your rendition. Therefore, the magic that G.S. has acheive with utter randomness is msatched with your Lorum Ipsum rendition.

  2. Wondering what your translation would be for this. But very good at capturing the art of Gertrude Stein. Could see some use of repetition here.
