statement: Are avant-garde practices still important to you?

Avant-garde practices play a major role for me when dealing with text. Due to the increasing influence of text-generating algorithms and digital influences, questions about the levels of meaning of text and art are being to be set again. To work with avant-garde practices (no matter if analog or digital) is therefore more relevant today than ever.
