david carson

i can appreciate the views that come from a person like david carson. I like the fact that he puts more emphasis on what is being said without words rather than what text is on the page. i like that while his ideas are not always simple, he has a very simplistic way of presenting them. One of his examples was a paper saying "explosion." He wanted to see an explosion...not the actual word. I think that an idea is better translated without words but this can be very hard to do. It is cool when you can get someone to look at your art piece or picture and just get what you meant. its powerful.
