reviews:
Karen Wagner in Skriftregn og cyberkonkretisme - digi-digtet >>oh<< , "AFNIT P", Denmark:
"If Hans-Jørgen Nielsen was alive, it could be his answer to a
cyberconcretism. A concentrated meta-poem about the flowing, polyfon,
sensous cyberwriting (in classical poetry the apostrofic "oh" is the
application itself, that what initiates a dialogue). Nielsen and Fluxus saw
a connection between zenbuddhism and the sensitiveness and philosophy of the
concrete poetry. "Oh" is the emptyness of everything, the pure respiration.
An onloading, uploading, loaded with semantic nuances. With Nielsens word
>>oh<< can be said to maintain a condensed universe of maximal
meaningsfulness. The beginning of language - in the sense of Wittgenstein -
of the world, in a casual and charming gesture. Over and over again. (Påny,
påny.)" (translated by Karen Wagner, 2005)
