Unigraphic Lipogrammatic Windows: A Survey

A lipogram is a span of text in which a particular letter or group of letters is avoided. Composition of very long lipograms is a popular pastime among logologists - indeed, some particularly dedicated constraint writers have produced entire novels which do not use the letter E

Tristan B. Miller Artist Statement We I do not approach art making from a traditional angle. Other artist statements that i have written were constructed at a time where I was a completely different person, therefore, they were actually written by another person, a different me. I construct forms that bring myselves, and the viewer, closer to an understanding of what it means to be conscious and exist in relation to the natural universe. The objects themselves very in every sense of physicality depending on how the audience and I intend to utilise them. The nucleus of the work is how I act, and who I say I am, and the lives that all the other Tristan Miller’s have gone through up to that point in time. Together, my other selves have struggled with systemic entities, who utilise our knowledge of the universe. The purpose of my work is to bring the versions of me to one another, and learn from themselves more about the human experience throughout time and space. By having all of these versions of myself I am able to drastically change my work and my behavior to discuss topics when the desire arises. The experience is strange and alluring at the same time. Eventually human beings will be able to travel through time and space, at which point a person will encounter previous and alternate versions of themselves. I strive to create this world in my art, so that i can discuss existential motifs, surrounded by science and a relationship with the physical world, but in the present, through myself. The future I have described is inevitable, it is only a matter of when, to which my art answers, “now”. By having multiple versions of who i am i can discuss and analyse Tristan Miller as an idea, while my idea of who i am, and what it means to be alive, evolves. As far as addressing the physical art making I prefer to do that in ways that are not traditional, because the other versions of me are not all artists, and this gives me the opportunity to evolve the gallery and viewer experience. To me my work is a show, it\u27s an induction into worlds unknown, a brief membership, one that is relatable, and human. Existence and evolution of consciousness, caused by a relationship with the physical universe, is one half of my work, while the other is performing in public with actual people. The audience learns just as much about themselves after each of my shows, as i do about myself.https://digitalcommons.murraystate.edu/art498/1026/thumbnail.jp

Knight-Graphable Words

Imagine an arbitrarily large chessboard where some of the squares are labelled with distinct letters of the alphabet. A word is said to be knight-graphable (NG) if there exists some labeling such that a knight can spell out the word by starting on the square labelled with its first letter, then making a valid move to the square labelled with its second letter, and so on until the square labelled with the last letter is reached
