HYPERTEXT: ht08 Alan Bigelow

June 19th, 2008 by Susan


Alan Bigelow brought up the question of terminology in naming this new breed of writing.  Alan does some short flash pieces that are all web based.  Interesting that he does installations in galleries and that the work must be converted both in medium and  label to enable  the audience to  learn how to  react.

Alan prefers the term "net art" to describe his work.

Alan’s concept is dear to my heart: limited reader navigation and therefore negating somewhat one of the main objections by many to interactive art and writing which is that feeling and fear of getting lost.
