If image-based excavations like this feel like a native digital form (which I think they certainly do), much of that must come not only from the medium's erasure of limits, but how its potential is managed. It's a free-for-all out there, and often rare to find blogs in which every image has been chosen carefully for its potential for meaning (Matthew Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377516945046894253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057225441101183394.post-61730598500665960432010-08-15T21:02:14.317+12:002010-08-15T21:02:14.317+12:00Thank you Tamás - I really enjoyed your response a...Thank you Tamás - I really enjoyed your response and that line in particular about the alchemy of transforming a text into a texture. There are many other aspects of Río Wang I wish I had covered, the dimension of slow blogging and slow time in particular is something I'll return to quite soon.

As I have written in the private mail sent shortly after the publication of the post, your review inspired me so many thoughts that I preferred to summarize them in a post, which I now finally published here: <a href="http://riowang.blogspot.com/Studiolumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377777909296284368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057225441101183394.post-65859268679880791952010-08-11T10:56:40.236+12:002010-08-11T10:56:40.236+12:00Thanks Gio- much to admire.
And I agree with you:...Thanks Gio- much to admire. <br />And I agree with you: the web CAN be a place for reading with great concentration. This blog and Reading the Maps, for example... and there are many others.<br />Of course it can also be a throw-away medium. In this case: the web as a medium is infinitely mutable, and IS NOT the message!Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057225441101183394.post-87958867361028407452010-08-11T02:43:48.898+12:002010-08-11T02:43:48.898+12:00thank you for the review.

It's a difficult task to do a blog review well but you seem to have done so.<br /><br />I recall being mildly disoriented when I first looked at "Poemas del río Wang" -- where was I, anyway? For me, the exciting thing about this blog is precisely this sensation of not being able to identify a neat linguistic, geographicengramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501139052368634979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057225441101183394.post-46061653202418165852010-08-10T08:14:28.867+12:002010-08-10T08:14:28.867+12:00Thank you thank you Gio that blog is a sheer joy. ...Thank you thank you Gio that blog is a sheer joy.
