Well once again I’m off on a quest of exploration and discovery, sent by he who chuckles once I’ve finally bitten down on the bait. The same chuckler who put me in the middle of Grace and Trip’s marital problems … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: Facade
Found this at Storytronics, and passing it along (since you all remember, don’tcha, how involved I got with this interactive visual/audio/text interplay last year): If any of you are interested, our research team here at Georgia Tech would like to … Continue reading Continue reading

One of the things I’m noticing about reading in this mode–and I mean the manner alone, rather than expressing my reader ability to wander within the text–is the pace with which the reader measures out the story. There is no … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & LITERATURE: Hyperfiction & Marquez
Marquez, I’m realizing, is a natural for hypertext. As in the entry below, the birds as a symbol and metaphor are causing me to continually go back in my reading to bring up a previous mention. Just as the begonias … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: Hypertext 3.0 – Reader Choice?
