Every now and then, your "asemic" wandering through TH-cam, throws up some gems. This was an utterly captivating lecture. The clarity of his thought process on a difficult subject like this, is exceptional. In my exploration of this field, no one has come through with such effectiveness, Thanks, Steven.
I've recently started asemic writing out of curiosity after using it in a piece of my artwork and find it compelling though couldn't say why. I enjoyed this lecture very much, thank you.
As someone who uses deconstructed type marks as the base of my artwork, I’ve always struggled to explain it to others. I would say “it’s my brushstroke” - some splatter or do large broad paint strokes - but this is how I express myself. A collector of mine recently mentioned “asemic writing” to me and I immediately dived into researching it. That’s how I came upon this video. This video has so many gems for me as I begin to learn what the asemic is, but I immediately feel connected to what you are saying. I feel seen. Thank you so much!
After your talk I started an asemic journal. Interesting to notice an ongoing process of writing, even writing an asemic poem. Being a graphic designer, I love my new handwriting better than my 'own'. I now work on an art project with some of the characters I use. So thank you for the stimulation.
Fascinating ... I have only recently discovered asemic writing but find it mysteriously appealing for its aesthetic and poetic side and really want to use it in my mixed media art and poetry! Thanks for the interesting talk!
I started the Artists Way Pages recently... and failed. I couldnt find meaning in anything I wrote, I felt the pressure to write something meaningful. Then I realised that linguistic meaning didnt matter... and in art and music I have found that making marks that are initially meaningless then find meaning in the subjective later viewing very therapeutic. Great lecture, thankyou.
My art has been based upon automatic creation of marks due to my neurological condition of Aphantasia. Whether ink drawings or painting, It is similar to channelling . I found this very interesting as I just started a new 12 month project of this form of writing and hey presto my TH-cam feed fills up with Asemic writing.
Thank you Mr.Steven for this wonderful insight. I am a Poet, Music composer, Singer and a painter too. Could connect with a lot of ideas you spoke about.
If you think asemic/poetic layout was developed in the 20th century have a look at Marta Werner/Jen Bervin's photographs of some of the manuscripts of Emily Dickinson.
I find it curious that asemic handwriting seems to have gained popularity at a time when the world in general is largely enamored with keyboards and computers.
Language is so weird that it may be that all writing is fundamentally asemic. Religious and political pundits seem to be regular practitioners of asemic speech and writings. 🤣
We have taken thousands of years to develop language - a massive vocabulary exists especially in English (borrowing or adopting words from other languages and cultures). Language allows us to communicate. So why not write poetry with language and leave visual art to others? Surely ascemic writing is just over complicating the medium? Its also a great way for bullshitters to pull wool over the eyes of the gullible.

Phenomenal that this lecture should be free. I am forever grateful in these times of quarantine.

This is mindblowing stuff. I really appreciate it!
Excellent, Steven. Great to see asemic writing promoted so eloquently in the UK.

I have that ‘condition’ too.

I loved it. Thank you❤
Great presentation with much food for thought!

I am a massive fan of your work.
Wonderful lecturer

Thanks for this.
Ouch, ha nnno. Go… ddd.. scr.
I did not understand a word he said.
And you felt the need to tell us that.
