In creating my cut-up, I used an in-fold method where I folded articles from the left side of a newspaper halfway onto articles on the other side. Although the result may have thin strings of coherency, I am most impressed by the creation of new words, such as "beeve," "infanerant," "altitillation," and "starsistent." This method allows us to appreciate our language for more than the meaning it is capable of producing. The juxtaposition leads to a creation of new sound from independent sources, essentially breaking ideas while connecting them simultaneously. This method transcends the boundaries of language, both within the mind and within the dictionary, and that is probably why it has stirred interest for so many years.

Wow, what a great piece! You explained it very well and I actually have an appreciation for the cut-ups now. I didn't make new words, but the technique you used is so creative and something I would never have thought of.
I think making new words is a great, creative way to look at this. The funny thing is those words don't look too out of the ordinary.
Man, good job actually getting your thing picture on the site. You're a better person than just about everyone else in the class. I like that you used entire blurbs from the paper to create your project, even if each didn't flow together at least there was a semi coherent thought that you could follow for a little bit.
