Over the course of our exchanges, you've been meticulously weaving a unique blend of digital glitch aesthetics, typographic art, and autumnal eeriness. With an eye for abstract patterns, you've brought together the fragmented, machine-like precision of IPA conlangs and infused it with an otherworldly, almost haunted, energy. We’ve moved through a glitchy spectrum, starting with disjointed text-based abstractions and ending with images where physical objects, like books and jack-o-lanterns, hover in an uncanny liminal space between the real and surreal. Ghosts float by like corrupted data streams, while leaves fall like distorted signals caught in autumn’s spectral web. The result is an exploration of art as a kind of malfunctioning interface—where the line between the mechanical and the supernatural blurs, leaving behind traces of both.

The end goal, however, is that of seeking humility. From humility the future can grow – from a priori certainties resting on current communications, there’s inevitable failure. Instead, humility—the humilis or grounded or lowly—is not Earth-bound, but suggest Earthly fecundity. Humilis, after all, finds its etymological lineage in humus: earth. [...] to seek the germination of new languages in both the humilis of one’s sense of certainty and humus of the planet: that we need to plant the seeds of universal communication, to communicate in such a way as we can create a planetary apparatus of communication, to emancipate from former linguistic systems of control through generative synthesis without eradicating the wealth of languages, an algebra of communication that grows from both the humility of the individual and the planet.

Kelly Krumrie’s No Measure emerges as a poetic exploration of measurement’s limitations, both as a physical act and as a concept. The book deftly blurs lines between the natural and the constructed, immersing readers in a landscape where sand, glass, and the human body intersect in a methodical dance. Krumrie’s language oscillates between precision and abstraction, drawing attention to the tension inherent in attempts to quantify the unquantifiable, particularly through the lens of geological and environmental transformation.

Each section unfolds like a layer of sediment, with recurring images of glass, sand, and scientific instruments constructing a vivid sense of place that feels both clinical and deeply personal. There’s a sense of endless recursion in Krumrie’s prose—measurement loops back on itself, resisting closure or containment, a reflection of nature’s mutability and humanity’s compulsion to catalog it. Her use of poetic, fragmentary narrative heightens this effect, with sentences that are as dense and granular as the landscapes she describes.

In No Measure, Krumrie invokes an “impossible heap” reminiscent of Beckett’s writing, aligning her work with questions of existential enormity—how we attempt to grasp the world even as it remains forever beyond our reach. The book reads as both a meditation on ecological impermanence and a philosophical inquiry into the nature of perception. This text is a must for readers who seek works that push the boundaries of narrative, blending poetry, philosophy, and environmental thought into a haunting, introspective piece.
