- Notes “Fake Art! Is a series of statistical and poetic text analyses. Each piece imposes audacious task-reassignment and other structural manipulations to shift tone and meaning of the words broadcasted by contemporary political figures. Book #1 focuses on interviews given by Donald Trump with the Associated Press and Time magazine in 2017. The new iteration may appear elevated, degraded, or a combination of these that can both satisfy and disturb the reader. The reader’s experience will depend on perspective and attitude – on the sum of one’s encounters with the world, and his or her confirmation bias. “The texts presented in staggered, narrative poetic form within are not redacted. Each such page presents a single transcribed response in its entirety as spoken by President Trump. Typographic formatting has been altered to deliver a more palpable facsimile of the conversation. Interviewer language has been compressed to obscurity.” - Chris Maddox
