R: Re: R: RHIZOME_RAW: Turbulence Spotlight: "Tabula Visum: Tabular Vision & HTML Cinema" by Patrick Lichty

Hello Annie,

I'm not saying that I don't like Patrick's work, because I actually do like
it! :)

What I was saying is that too many times you stick a concept on something only
with words. The word "narrative" has a lot to do with it.
Infact, I love Patrick Lichty's work for reasons that are totally different
from the ones expressed in the statement and review.

Me? :)

I once did a lot of stuff using html tables. The narrative ones seemed to me
like "another guy making graphical artifacts, still or moving, using HTML
tables". Just lookup the terms on google and you'll be flooded with works from
several people. With some very interesting distorsions, as well.

So what I did at the time was to release a single, playful toy which you can
find at

http://www.artisopensource.net/giocattoli/index.html

and just about all over the rest of the website. I even released javascript
libraries to program the stuff, and they have been used a lot.

>thanks

thank you for the kind answer!
