Davis Carson was quiet a complicated artist. He was not traditionally taught the history of art. He simply jumped into typography without researching first. He wanted to come up with a new style of page layout in where text becomes experimental and abstracted. I find this very interesting because text is not researched enough in artwork. Artist have been trying to change the way viewers interpret text for many years and until now they have only scratched the surface. If we compare the changing of text to graffiti then we can see throughout history graffiti letters have been changing and morphing into abstracted forms of the original text. I feel Carson is doing the same thing the way he innovated text by changing the different fonts and placing them in irregular positions. Also in a way he reminded me of Burroughs in the fact that he was interested in the way that text was placed "cut up" and then used over again repeatedly.
