Comment on Comic-Book Altermodernism by Tom Kaczynski

Absolutely. I'm not married to the Altermodern term either. Just trying it out for a size. But what you say about reprints also carries though to to the art world. Altermodernism is at least partially fueled by 'other modernisms' that existed outside of the main western strain. Eastern European modernisms, South American ones, etc. Movements and work that were largely confined to specific areas and tended to be dismissed as regional. This history is being reclaimed for a new generation. It seems analogous to me at least on some level. Here's Bourriaud again touching on history.

Sounds good. But that’s a tough word to say easily. Fusion is easier to say. And, technically, Dash Shaw coined the term and I used it. I don’t really like Fusion Jazz so I was a little put off by it, but I think the term resonated with folks a little bit. “Alternative” is in such usage that it may be difficult to overtake…

Anyways, the point is that this new way of assimilating influence is taking hold, I think, largely because of the availability of reprints. For Brandon Graham to unite Bode and Moebius 15 years ago would have been really difficult because their work was out of print for years. Now with the web, for images and for tracking down out of print books, it’s a new ballgame.

Nice! I love this. I Dont want to see his real grave, I’d rather imagine that this is his real tomb out there somewhere.

I guess I’d seen a picture of it before. Never in person though. Have you ever been there?

True… though I was thinking this is something that would work even after the entropic heat death of the universe… after all energies that couple produce the crackle were spent… though that would probably destory the molecular bonds that hold all the materials together anyway…

…needs an eternal flame (of krackle) out front.
