VL - A4 - connotations on the typewriter
The typewriter has a rich history due to the advancements in technology and word processing that has lasted more than a century. Because of the advent of the personal computer and ink and laser printing, typewriters have become significantly devalued. However, they are still extraordinarily popular among the those nostalgic for the past and those who chose an alternative to technology.
Famous recent authors who preferred the typewriter over the computer are Hunter S. Thompson and David Sedaris. They follow in the footsteps of previous authors which include ee cummings, Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, and Tom Robbins. William S Burroughs, another famous author, believed that there was a machine he called the 'Soft Typewriter' which was writing our lives, and our books into existence. And, in the film adaptation of his novel, "Naked Lunch," his typewriter is a living, insect-like entity.
The typewriter has inherent physical properties and a unique relationship to the user. The distinct sound of the striking of inked hammers to paper, letters, words, and sentences straight from the writers mind and body flow through the machine. and directly into the tangible world.

VL-A4-roundTWO
Sam's sketch on my typewriter.
Question: What physical thing, condition or event could this object help produce? How could that engage in a dialectic based on the first postcard?
I see this image as representation of what occurs when the user of the typewriter produces an idea. Instead of just ink on paper creating a story, it's the intense drama visualized in a tangible reality.
more to come...
