{"product_id":"9781463388829","title":"Nightmare in New York","description":"When commonly referring to overloaded information, to obsessive accumulation of signals in the circuit of production and reception of the visual and textual context, we are generally content with a kind of observation, a confirmation which actually leaves everyone overwhelmed by this sequence nearly uninterrupted in its unfolding and repetition. Indeed a fact by now acquired, but in front of which it seems to be emerging in the work of Bartus Bartolomes, as for natural antidote, a spread of verbal-visual gasps, pictograms on the boundary of the text, which hybridizing in its occurrence builds a language inspired by a visualism not mechanically decodable. The artist's iconic message, shaped through disarticulations in ordinariness and predictability of the media message, both technological and not, free a linguistic joyride which does not deny the ritual of the standardized information, but puts it in a condition where it loses its reference code, then it loses its fair pervasiveness and translates it into the actual encounter with the own circuit of the recipient of that message, a receptive humanity that shows itself in its variant both as western alphabetized audiences, and as peripheral ethnic group to linguistic mechanisms typical of post-technological world… The ludic soul permeating the iconic artist's writing sweeps like a breath his overcrowded montages, gives them exotic fantasies, transforms the human desires in deformed spatial compartments waiting to trace a spontaneous and direct expression of the self. The color and design coagulate around this sort of writing that, starting from the previous visual poetry, wants to return to a visual word that hybridizing realize itself beyond a precise control, beyond a ' search ' resulting from the intention that produced it, but a word mark that hovers without reflecting in a semiotic unique referent, so that the language may finally lead us back to what precedes and nourishes it.","brand":"Palibrio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135255232752,"sku":"9781463388829","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781463388829_p0.jpg?v=1763691562","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781463388829","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
