            Stimmung

            Jan 31 2010

             

            “The project is to learn to write with patterns that function
            more like music than like concepts            .” (91)    — Ulmer, Heuretics

             

            •   Stimmung   = “mood,” “atmosphere,” tone or “tuning”
                  — of “chora(l) category” (Internet Invention p.101).
                  See below, including “Micro-Guest-Relay Lecture”….

               

              •   → key lesson:    modality of method and (eventual) poetics of project
