Manifestos! Revolutions!
These manifestos and revolutions are rife with language, overflowing with meaning whether social, personal, technological, environmental, or political. These calls for action and declarations of change aren't necessarily forceful or loud but public and inclusive; life-changing and performative. Though they exist as online artworks these projects all began with live offline events.

*terminal is a space sponsored by the department of art
and the center for the creative arts at austin peay state university to showcase and examine internet and new media art. the site is directed and maintained by barry jones, associate professor of art at austin peay state university

Manifesto del Poesia XVI
Creation en el XVIe festival international de poesia de Rosario, Argentina.
Gracias para Rozalina, Sebastian, Paula, Maria (cáliz), Marta y Mercedes
(take a chalice, fill it with white strong peppermint chewing gums. While reading the title of the poem, hold the chalice above in front of your head. Like a priest saying grace for the cup of Christ. Before starting to read the poem, take one chewing gum, put it on your tongue and start chewing it. Give the chalice to the person to your right and let him/her take a chewing gum and let the chalice be passed on so all members of the audience can take a chewing gum. Go back in front of the audience and start reading the poem) ( tomar un cáliz, llenarlo con menta blanco sólidas chicles. Mientras lee el título del poema, mantenga el cáliz anteriormente en el frontal de su cabeza. Al igual que un sacerdote diciendo gracia para la copa de Cristo. Antes de comenzar a leer el poema, tomar una goma de mascar, ponga en su lengua y empezar a masticarla. Dar el cáliz a la persona a su derecha y deje que él / ella tener una goma de mascar y dejar que el cáliz se transmite de modo que todos los miembros de la audiencia puede tomar uno de mascar goma de mascar. Retrocede en el frente de la audiencia y de iniciar la lectura del poema)

Poetas del Mundo
Sommos hermanos
nuestra lengua
La Sagrada Familia.

Grammamadre
Vocabupadre
Y
La Paloma - la phantasia del carniceros historicos - continua cogiendo.

Los rios rojos - fecundos con la rabia del triunfo -

(next piece is sung as a Gregorian Kyrie) (siguiente pieza se canta como un Kyrie gregoriano)
