NEW MEDIA: Language

Posted on March 9, 2007 by Susan

God, I love this project! Hypertext involves paths; it’s taking me on so many different paths just in each and every element or step of the project.  In seeking to do this, I need to find this, and that leads … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA & LITERATURE: A Confession

Posted on March 8, 2007 by Susan

Here’s what I said: This brings me to another train of thought–why some of us don’t particularly go wild over hyperfiction.  But that post is still festering in my mind, wanting to heal itself before I rip open the wound … Continue reading → Continue reading →

LITERATURE & NEW MEDIA: At Swim-Two-Birds – Weaving

Posted on March 8, 2007 by susan

It should be obvious by now that I’m not exactly enthralled with this novel–though I am in awe of the workmanship.  Kind of like a Polish (or any other, really) traditional costume that is breathtaking in it’s brilliance of design … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Coordination

Posted on March 8, 2007 by Susan

Working with three or four different programs here, none of which are completely the answer in themselves (sorta like my four stories?).  This is why Adobe has what they call "suites" — to make sure all elements can be done … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: 3-D

Posted on March 7, 2007 by Susan

Further thinking on the previous post (and I think also that it’s time this project along with its postings go into the other weblog instead–a "to-do" this week) brings me to an image that isn’t far off from a 3-D … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Learning Process & 3-D

Posted on March 7, 2007 by Susan

No doubt about it: this might be a lot more fun if the process didn’t involve a lot of research and time spent in finding things that, in a classroom setting or even with someone else involved, could be brainstormed … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Fiddlin’ Around

Posted on March 6, 2007 by Susan

Getting my fingers into all the different aspects of this at once.  Premiere Pro for Dummies is a lot less daunting and if I’d’ve gotten this first for Flash 8, I think I would’ve learned it quickly.  Premiere is similar … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Anybody out there know a way–short of an expensive software conversion program–to convert .DXF or .DWG files to PDF? Continue reading →

WRITING & NEW MEDIA: Self-Effacing vs. Facing Self

Posted on March 3, 2007 by Susan

I give up. I’m not a writer, not an artist.  I’m a reader of others’ words and framer of their art. I’m just too late and still not good enough, that’s all there is to it. But I can sew, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA & WRITING: And TurboCAD!

Posted on March 2, 2007 by Susan

Might end up not posting on this project here, but rather switch it to Pseudohyperfiction, a blog I’d set up a while ago to handle this particular thing. What I’m doing is working with four stories that had been relative … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: CAD Storyboard

Posted on March 1, 2007 by Susan

Good grief.  Only I would have a TurboCAD 3-D program down in the cellar among the old software compatible with WIN 3.1 and WIN 95. And yes, it works with XP. Loaded it in–in 2-D format since that’s all I’m … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Workspace

Posted on February 28, 2007 by Susan

Been checking out a number of free CAD programs for use as a layout to map out interweaving plots–in other words, hyperfiction.  What the CAD software offers is a large work area thats maneuverable to allow for managing the plot … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Flow of Ideas

Posted on February 27, 2007 by Susan

It’s interesting to analyze the flow of creative ideas.  You have a need, you ponder a while on how to fulfill that need, you hop around in research, you come up with a better idea–often through the process of elimination–of … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Logic & Rerouting

Posted on February 25, 2007 by Susan

Okay, so this project is likely going to be a running theme here, so if you’re not into it, just avoid the NEW MEDIA postings. Solved one of the previous problems of the way Premiere didn’t work within the program … Continue reading → Continue reading →
