    The first book of Szilárd Borbély, Adatok (1988), did not receive much attention from the readers and the critics, so it has not received any professional reviews. It is a book with eclectic genres, stylistic peculiarities and pathetic tones of the voice, that did not meet the readers’ expectations in the time of regime change. Critics of Borbély’s later books consider it an experiment. No comprehensive interpretations have been written and its place in the oeuvre has not been determined. The book is divergent at the first reading, yet this divergence is consistent. The style is often anachronistic, but the setting is full of experimental solutions, therefore the texts rely heavily on the experimental attitude of avant-garde poems. The study of the text corpus with its essayistic and lyrical details help to rehabilitate the first chapters of the lifework and to discover the topics, motifs and motivations of Borbély’s subsequent books. This essay takes a closer look at the first and only edition of Adatok, including the (essay)poems and related visual parts, the characteristics of Borbély’s first publications prior to this volume, and also the connections between Borbély’s early poems and the avant-garde.

  • Mitikus távlatok, misztikus élmények és a szavak mágikus ereje: Szövegalapú közelítési kísérletek a transzcendenshez a kortárs magyar képzőművészetben

    After the liberation from the communist dictatorship, text in Hungarian visual art becomes more and more o¢en and directly a means of updating or subverting religious tradition, beliefs and myths, a recollection of sacred time, of the eternal present promised in discourses on transcendence. “e analyses in this paper illustrate this through interpretations that do not consider textual elements as ancillaries but treat them on an equal footing with other visual elements, that also validate semantic contexts, poetic aspects, and that open up space for the movement of meaning experienced in the interpretative process. As can be seen in the interpretations, works that often imitate archaic systems of signification only in their visuality o¢en seem to be representative of forgetting rather than conveying communal memory. Th“e majority of the works examined here make sense in dialogue with various sacred texts or canonical documents, and in some cases, the potential of intertextual relations to make meaning is explicitly revealed in the dialogue of distant moments in time or different conceptions of time. In a further group of works, the attempt to cross the boundary between spheres of being is expressed in ritual action, in prayer or supplication, as an apostrophic discourse that is essentially an approach to the non-human or the unborn.

    Humankind, differentiated from nature, has always strived to extend the body and to overcome spatial boundaries. These civilizational attempts have been achieved by means of technological inventions and developments recently. The continuous technological development could, however, qualify only partially as an energyeffective means for establishing experimental spaces. The instinctive “colonization process” has been able to unfold in electronic environments.
    The bodily fixation and the narrow scope of attention are qualities of Internet use which cannot create the experience of full-body immersion. In contrast, Virtual Reality (VR) attempts to create a sense of full audiovisual-haptic experience in the recipient by aspiring for interactivity. However, this field does not correlate with global networks which would minimize spatial constraints and which, speaking about the Internet, are the essential sources of popularity and dynamism. Certainly, it is just a matter of time before developers attempt to integrate these currently disconnected virtual environments in a giant Internet-like fashion. What is even more likely is that sensational qualities and features of virtual reality will be assigned to the organism of the Internet. In the case of virtual reality the fixation of view was replaced by the fixation of environment, a concept that will be abandoned and followed by a constantly changing, dynamic system after the setting up of a network virtual reality.
