Writing at the Speed of Thought (Time #0.3)
2014
“Writing at the speed of thought” is a journal kept in the year 2014, a writing conglomerate of contradictions, deletions, and conventions. Starting with the idea that words are not enough, and the writing system is too slow and limited compared to thoughts, began a process of purging the syntax and the meaning of words. It was a writing experiment on how to be true to your thoughts, and what they look like. The paradox of this experiment is the concept of the birth of the word itself and the process of writing. Even if we think that thoughts are abstract notions, they are formed with words, but with different speeds and different syntaxes. Starting just with the intention of writing thoughts at their own speed and own order, by deleting the grammar, deleting the form of the word, deleting the boundaries of the meaning of the word, the hidden formalism of written language still manifests itself. In the end you are blocked in other parts of the process, like the visual organization (horizontal, left to right, etc) because you want to write your thoughts through a drawn line. Different events, intentions, emotions, continuously changed the form of the thought.
