TheLanguageOfNewMedia by George Shaw and Thomas Swiss

http://www.iath.virginia.edu/pmc/current.issue/swiss/13.3swiss_shaw.html

One of the better poems I've seen in Flash.

A collab between George Shaw (who did the design and programming) and Thomas
Swiss.

Nice to see such work in Postmodern Culture.

I like its awareness that the interactivity and design are a part of the
language of such pieces, mez.

predictable in its interactivity? it does get beyond the mouseover.

I like what it has to say about the language of new media.

and i like the humour.

also, the design, like the stuff around the bottom of the screen, and the
windowing, is well done.

in interface design, it isn't clumsy and blinkeredly print headed.
