I enjoyed this piece so much. Your whole thread of thought was a delight to follow. From OULIPO, which to me is another example of the playfulness of the French intellect (which I won't lie, makes me feel sort of proud of my culture lol), to your incursion into media theory with oulipian Twitter, to then end with the erotic dynamics that underlie art, magic, and creativity. YAY!
Loved how this was not simply an explanation of Oulipo but a deep dive into its themes and meanings.
I especially liked the part about Twitter, how medium shapes the message, and how the message ultimately shapes us.
much appreciated! 🙏
That should say ‘not simply’ - I constrained myself to positive language :)
hehe ;)
This is very inspiring
ty! ❤️❤️❤️

you should be proud! :) playfulness in intellect is exactly it for me. all too often treated as separate pursuits or mutually exclusive imho.
THIS is a party that I may have to throw soon.
