Making Art Of The Milky Way Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Making Art Of The Milky Way



Let's line a series of virtual squiggles, because I like them better
than dots or dashes. Let the alignment span the constellations
up and down Well, OK, it's a matter of position and of where

you are in regard to conceptual art. So start conceiving.
Look at the starry darkness and position the first squiggle
somewhere at the bottom that we'll call South and let's end

with the final squiggle at the top and call it North. In between,
line many more scrawls that depending on their size
may take forever to connect. At any point in between I say

that time is more important than distance because one may
never reach an end that has no beginning. I know, I know!
it's all a silly exercise about the metaphors of visual semantics

and in shifting the application of the graffiti from the physical
to the virtual realm, the emphasis on the elasticity of the image
reveals the dynamic condition of the painting.
