TextTask#19

TEXT TASK #19

USING THE NYC SUBWAY SYSTEM AND ITS MAP OF 'LETTERED LINED'
WRITE A SERIES OF LIPOGRAMS AND/OR UNIVOWEL TEXTS
CORRESPONDENT TO THE LETTER OF THE LINE YOU ARE TRAVELLING ON
THE DURATION YOU HAVE TO WRITE THE TEXTS IS THE LENGTH OF TIME BETWEEN EACH STATION YOU ARRIVED ONTO THE TRAIN AND WHEN YOU DEPART FROM THE TRAIN.
YOU MUST THEN CHOOSE A WAY OF PRESENTING, PERFORMING AND PLACING/'SITING' YOUR TEXTS IN THE STATION OR CARRIAGE.

E.G. ON MY ARRIVAL I TRAVELED ON THE E & F & G LINES
THEREFORE, I WOULD WRITE THREE LIPOGRAMS WITHOUT USING THE WORDS CONTAINING THE LETTER E & F & G
AND TWO UNIVOWEL TEXTS USING THE LETTER E.
IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 8-10 MINUTES BETWEEN EACH STATION STOP.
I WOULD THEN RIP THE PAGE OUT OF THE NOTEBOOK AND ATTACH TO THE METAL HANDLE BAR OR THE SEAT WITH CELLOTAPE OR GLUE TO BE READ BY THE NEXT TO BE SEATED IN MY PLACE.
