Description(s):
And's work is intended as a new-media tribute to Emmett Williams, one of the first concrete poets and a leading member of the Fluxus conceptual art movement (its adherents included Yoko Ono and the electronic-art pioneer Nam June Paik).The poem pays homage to Williams's own "The Voy Age," a 1975 piece composed of 100 word squares that diminish in size as the work proceeds. By the final page, the grid is so small that it appears to be a period.(Source: Matthew Mirapaul, The New York Times)
