Surface Tension
Typography meets poetry at a Pink Floyd laser-light showIn Surface Tension, poetry is liquefied.Flowing away from meaning, letters and words gather and pool into puddles of poetry; street signs and logos reflected in the oily sheen of polluted gutters of rainwater.Like a funhouse mirror reflecting the language that surrounds us, the pages drip over the margins, suggesting that Madge was right, we are “soaking in it!”Surface Tension updates visual poetry for our post-pandemic age, asking us rethink the verbiage around us, to imagine letters as images instead of text, to find meaning in their beautiful shapes as Beaulieu stretches, torques, slides, blurs, and melts them into Dali-esque collages. "The striking compositions you’ll find in Surface Tension are being presented sequentially in book form, yet that they wouldn’t be out of place hanging on the wall goes without saying.Beaulieu swerves Gomringer when writing that 'Readibility is the key: like a logo, a poem should be instantly recognizable...' yet, to this reader, these works merit sustained and enthusiastic viewing precisely because they teeter on the edge of legibility.The kinetic, glitchy quality of their 'alphabetic strangeness' keeps them unrecognizable as poems and, here, 'that is poetry as I need it,' to quote Cage.Think of them as anti-advertisings selling you nothing but bountiful manifestations of the irreducible plasticity of numbers, punctuation marks, and letter forms.No logos." – Mónica de la Torre, Madelon Leventhal Rand Endowed Chair in Literature, Brooklyn College; co-editor of Women in Concrete Poetry 1959–1979"With his distinctive visual palindromes and angled axes of symmetry, Derek Beaulieu has developed a signature mastery of Letraset, leveraging the twentieth-century technology as a vehicle for bring concrete poetry into the twenty-first century.With Surface Tension, Beaulieu takes the possibilities of that new idiom even further, unsettling the fixity his symmetries once reinforced and dislodging the set in Letraset as poems distort in fun-house-mirror swerves, sag as if under their own weight, pool and smear in the liquid logic of heated ink, or swoop and blur as if in motion.In the process, these poems make visible the filmic potential of the photocopier, the facture of abraded transfers from brittling stock, and the three-dimensional substrate of the page with its flexible bends in curving space.These are thus poems in part about their own modes of production.They are beautiful products of a self-aware and intelligent process." – Craig Dworkin, author of Radium of the Word: A Poetics of Materiality"'When most of the language we consume is non-poetic, should poetry not attempt to poetically intervene within these spaces that are not traditionally poetic?' The answer to Derek Beaulieu’s question, put forward in his beautiful essay, is surely yes: the ten brilliantly adventurous visual poems in his Surface Tension make a startling case for his fascinating Letraset/photocopier inventions.Beaulieu’s compositions originate in a place of clean design and logical narrative; soon, as in a dream, they open up, ushering in what he calls 'a poetry of difference, chance, eruption.' Marcel Duchamp would have called it the poetry of the infrathin: watch 'Simple Symmetry' or 'Dendrochronology' open up and come alive in their minutely evolving new spaces.This is quite simply an enchanting book – a book producing new pleasures with each turn of the page." – Marjorie Perloff, Sadie Dernham Patek Professor of Humanities, Emerita, Stanford University

Unlike my last two albums there wasnt a theme, it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song. I wanted to celebrate each songs individuality and to dive into that freedom. I would say its a blend of personal reflection, club abandon and melancholic high.Kylies glittering career has seen her amass sales of over 80 million records worldwide, 5 billion streams and 8 UK No 1 albums. Her multiple awards include 3 BRIT awards, 2 MTV awards and a Grammy. She is the only female artist to score a No 1 album in five consecutive decades in the UK. Her 2019 Glastonbury performance was the mostwatched TV moment in the festivals history. In so many ways she stands alone in the pop arena a superstar artist whose constant reinventions and explorations keep her firmly rooted in the present whilst defining and celebrating much of our collective past.

What is the tension between freedom and social security?
The tension between freedom and social security arises from the trade-off between individual autonomy and collective well-being. On one hand, freedom emphasizes personal choice, self-determination, and minimal government intervention, while social security emphasizes the need for collective support, safety nets, and government intervention to ensure the well-being of all members of society. Striking a balance between these two values is a complex challenge for policymakers, as too much emphasis on freedom can lead to inequality and social instability, while too much emphasis on social security can lead to excessive government control and limitations on individual freedom. Finding the right balance is essential for creating a society that promotes both individual liberty and social well-being.

What is the tension of a tension conductor?
The tension of a tension conductor refers to the force or stress applied to the conductor in order to keep it taut and in place. This tension is necessary to prevent the conductor from sagging or vibrating excessively, which could lead to damage or failure. The tension of a tension conductor is carefully calculated and maintained to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the electrical transmission or distribution system.

What is the tension in a tension conductor?
The tension in a tension conductor is the force exerted on the conductor due to the pulling or stretching of the material. This force is necessary to keep the conductor in place and support any loads that it may be carrying. The tension in a tension conductor is typically calculated based on the weight of the load it is supporting and the angle at which the load is pulling on the conductor.

What is an example of the tension between freedom and security?
One example of the tension between freedom and security is the debate over government surveillance. On one hand, surveillance measures such as monitoring of communications and data collection are seen as necessary for national security and the prevention of terrorist attacks. On the other hand, these measures are seen as an infringement on individual privacy and civil liberties, raising concerns about government overreach and the potential for abuse of power. This tension between the need for security and the desire for freedom is a complex and ongoing issue in many societies.

Pressure or tension force?
Pressure is a force exerted uniformly over a surface, while tension is a force that is transmitted through a rope, cable, or other similar objects. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit area, such as Pascals, while tension is measured in units of force. Both forces can cause deformation or changes in shape in an object, but pressure acts in all directions while tension acts along the direction of the object.

What is ski tension?
Ski tension refers to the amount of pressure or force exerted on the ski base by the binding and the skier's weight. It is an important factor in determining the ski's performance and responsiveness on the snow. The right amount of ski tension allows for optimal control and maneuverability, while too much or too little tension can affect the ski's ability to grip the snow and transfer energy efficiently. Adjusting ski tension can help customize the ski's performance to suit different snow conditions and skiing styles.

Muscle pump or tension?
The choice between muscle pump and tension depends on your fitness goals. Muscle pump refers to the temporary increase in muscle size and vascularity during a workout, which can provide a satisfying feeling of fullness and tightness in the muscles. On the other hand, tension refers to the sustained contraction and engagement of the muscles, which is essential for building strength and muscle mass over time. If your goal is to achieve a temporary aesthetic effect and improve muscle endurance, muscle pump may be more appealing. However, if you are focused on building strength and muscle size, prioritizing tension in your workouts would be more beneficial.
