DAVIS SCHNEIDERMAN
[SIC] The following excerpts are from [SIC] (Jaded Ibis, 2013), the middle term of Davis Schneiderman’s DEAD/BOOKS trilogy (BLANK 2011, INK 2014). The book takes its name from the Latin abbreviation for “as written” and includes public domain works under Davis Schneiderman’s name, including everything from the prologue to The Canterbury Tales to Wikipedia pages to genetic codes. [SIC] includes images of Schneiderman taken by visual artist Andi Olsen (an example featured on facing page), an introduction for Oulipian Daniel Levin Becker, and musical accompaniment from Illegal Art sampling musicians, including Yea Big, Steinski, Oh Astro, and Girl Talk. The release will be accompanied by 25 full-text ebooks of the works used in Part I of [SIC], available for free download. The fine-art edition of [SIC] will contain a pathogen that readers may deploy onto the text to become sick—sick about copyright. The following page is the “title” card for Part III, which offers works from the post-1923 copyright period.
