• 1 - herman de vries :: noise
• 
  most of the textfields were published separately. perhaps the most complex and accomplished textfield - published in book form was noise in 1974 (temporary travelling press publications 1) [note: despite the fact that herman de vries has never referred to this work in terms of a textfield, it seems natural that it be considered the apogee of such work (it has only been followed by two others, in den feldern der erfahrungen, deutsche pflanzennamen 1991 and ex libris john janssen in 2000 both of which significontly different in form).] four words, 'whiet', 'choice', 'noise' and 'random' are repeated in various forms and patterns, both in english and nepalese on and across pages, thus breaking the mould of strict linearity inherent to all writing and by extension language itself.
