About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

Deconstruction of the Carnage State, 1987-2017


Collage by JF, 1987

Cut-up (made with online cut-up machines, then lightly edited) from found sources, February 2017

I primarily used this cut-up machine.

  1. I'd sort of forgotten about these cut-up sites. I've book-marked it and mean to get back into it. You mentioned Rob in you email, I too hope he's well and comes back soon.

    1. Those cut-up machines are a fun and easy ways to rearrange texts, Ray. As Burroughs himself noted,sometimes cut-ups work, sometimes they don't (paraphrase). You have to try until you get some good material. I should use the old scissor- and- glue method sometime as well. Yes,I hope Rob is back soon, also.
