LIKE ACROSTICS, MESOTICS ARE WRITTEN IN THE CONVENTIONAL WAY HORIZONTALLY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY FOLLOW A VERTICAL RULE, DOWN THE MIDDLE NOT DOWN THE EDGE AS AN ACROSTIC, A STRING SPELLS A WORD OR NAME, NOT NECESSARILY CONNECTED WITH WHAT IS BEING WRITTEN, THOUGH IT MAY BE. THIS VERTICAL RULE IS LETTRISTIC AND IN MY PRACTICE THE LETTERS ARE CAPITALIZED. BETWEEN TWO CAPITALS IN A PERFECT 100% MESOTIC NEITHER LETTER MAY APPEAR IN LOWER CASE.

Vibravibe VL-12

Vibrotactile lounge chair

April 2005

The Vibravibe VL-12 was a vibrotactile lounge chair with twelve channels of low-frequency vibration. Appropriating its form from a chaise lounge designed by the Studio Architetti Associati in 1953, the Vibravibe represented a nonexistent piece of vintage electronics - the vibrotactile lounge chair - imaging what it might have looked like had it been born in the golden age of hi-fi audio.

The piece was shown at Collision VII at the Art Interactive Gallery in April 2005. Hundreds of visitors experienced the piece by putting on headphones and sitting back in the chair. The artist composed a composition of synchronous audio and vibrations for the exhibit.
