NEW MEDIA: Uh…Hyperlinking
Mark Bernstein’s great postings on his attendance at the Manchester, England’s Hypertext ’07 includes this tremendously interesting entry on a day’s hike through the hills, complete with photos and lotsa sheep who look like they thought they’d seen it all until Mark came along.
What I love best about this narrative of Mark’s travels, his choice of paths, his pretty much getting lost, is that Mark’s an engineer and designer at Eastgate, producer of Storyspace, a hyperlink mapping system that’s extremely intricate and sophisticated. So does this mean that despite the phenomenal capabilities of software, reality still poses a challenge?
