  • {~~} ... , ... ; ... (2019) is the second issue of a serial, performative essay experimenting with embodied typography and sensorial texts. This new issue offers a translation through vibrational poetics of a phrase carved in Linear A, the undeciphered ancient script of the Minoans.

    This ongoing, collaborative work was originally conceived through a development residency with artist Aaron McPeake in the Morgue Gallery, Chelsea School of Art, London. The first iteration {~} ... , ... ; ... (2019) was performed at the opening weekend of The National, Sydney, and was one of several Essays in Vibrational Poetics that d’Evie presented as propositions to expand the perceptual space of publication.
