T*Int (Textspace In Not Txtspace) or The Death of the Author · 25 October 06 by Ray Crowley
here is the preface to my most recent assignment paper which utilizes TagCrowd The deliverable envisioned is part interactive audio-visual installation, part Beckett performance with a bit of deconstructionism thrown in for fun.
To Dr. Tapio Takala, Helsinki University of Technology
The subtitle is in homage to Roland Barthes who was commissioned by the artist and writer Patrick Ireland (formerly known as Brian O’Doherty) to write his hugely influential post-structuralist essay “Death of the Author” for ‘Aspen Magazine 5+6’ (1967).
This edition of the magazine also included original contributions by Samuel Beckett, William Burroughs, John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Michel Butor, Morton Feldman, Dan Graham, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Hans Richter, Robert Rauschenberg, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Susan Sontag.
I engaged many times with the texts, images and sounds of ‘Aspen Magazine 5+6’ over the course of the hot summer of 2006 as there was a retrospective of the work of Patrick Ireland at The Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin. I lived a stones throw away from the gallery and had quit my corporate job.
This paper is dedicated to my dear friend, Gearóid Ó Colmáin. Go raibh maith agat mo chara.
