Hello everybody, 

I would like to inform you about the coming project of Isabella Bordoni, an Italian artist working as a poet, theatre and radio 
artist, and performer.
Isabella?s last project is "Fioriture: a poetryscape", and is made in collaboration with the national austrian radio, Ö1 
Kunstradio-ORF.
On the 21st of March, the international day for poetry, the artist is going to perform with her voice and she will mix this with 
sound and text material collected from all over the world.
This event will be broadcasted live on ORF on March 21st  (http://www.kunstradio.at).

Bordoni?s artistic resarch has been focused since the beginning of her career on the relationships between sound, word and 
language. She says: "In my decision on using the new media and sound, I choose to loose the proper meaning of the words in 
the sentences, in order to make a new meaning come up from the relationship between the sound of the words and the sound of 
the music.." 
In this project, she asks for contributions (sound material in every form, but also written texts) that she can mix and perform 
according to her sensibility in a hole unique event related to the poetry and the language of the words.


If you are interested you can send your sounds/poems/scores etc. (without a restriction on running time) in a prerecorded form 
via snail mail (on cassettes, CDs, MDs), or submit your texts/poems/statements (in all languages) in written form.

Your work could be considered as a sound and content input, (being part of the sound data-base mixed by the artist in her 
performance) and you will be credited as co-author of the project.   

All the proposals are accepted until March 1st  


Looking forward to hearing a lot of SOUND/WORDS, 


regards, 
bluang

march 21st 2004 -- a day for poetry
"FIORITURE -- a poetryscape"
on air - on site

Ö1 Kunstradio-orf Vienna

In the occasion of the World Day of Poetry which will happen on march 21st, equinox of springtime, will be created and broadcast 
an acoustic and poetic event live from ORF Kunstradio.
For this we have invited some artists and institutions to make their contribution to the project. Without any borders and 
limitation in contributions, voice, vocals elements, sound & cityscapes, urban sound report and personal multiplicity of shapes
and styles are welcome.
>From historical to contemporary, I try to approach that area where word meets poetry in micro-narrations, where language's 
construction meets abstraction and its necessity to create a new word's design. In that sense I also think too about writing for 
advertisements and so called "commercial" use of language.
I would like to introduce the terms "subvertizing":
the subverting of the advertising system trough its use.
However I look to that parts of the world where the orality is stronger than literacy, where the word's tradition lives inside the 
minority of languages and dialects.

All related contributions are warmly welcome.
Thinking about areas in a geographical, historical, stylistic meaning,
this invitation would like to develop the following points:
1) to collect contributions in order to create a common platform
2) to involve radio stations and institutions and ask them for archive materials: original voices by the authors of our 20th century 
poetic landscape, interviews, historical declarations and whatever fits in the large range of recorded material about "poetry, 
writing, language" including interventions of scientific and philosophic nature, advertisements.
In this way different areas of thinking and verbal expressions will inevitably meet.
I hope we can find a way to collaborate,
best, Isabella
