#: Richard Barrett
# is a treatment of selected text output from the @_M_I_A_ Twitter feed. Using instinctive interventions, the original text has been transformed to create a new artefact. Echoes, repetitions and ghost-motifs occur and re-occur throughout #, laying trails true and false, with the # symbol doubling as medical shorthand for “fracture”. For distribution, the complete work has been split into fifty micro-texts of which only a single version exists, each presented in a labelled vial and accompanied by a bespoke extraction tool. # can be owned individually only in part and totally only in common. Each micro-text object is available in exchange for a gift, which can be in a physical, digital, verbal, gestural, symbolic or any other form. Use and exchange value are entirely irrelevant. As gifts are received, they will be listed on the Twitter feed #zimzalla. This list will be collated for presentation as a future object. Contact mail@zimzalla.co.uk or encounter a relevant individual in logical space. Visit the audio visual page for more #.
