hypertext work

March 13, 2003

Type: discussion

I wanted to share some of the input I got from my last query about hypertext
– I have learned a lot from this site

http://www.dichtung-digital.de/english.htm (thank you mark amerika!), and
this interview is good too:

http://www.uiowa.edu/~iareview/tirweb/feature/jackson/interview.html

shelley jackson's hypertext writing has been really good reading… and
other suggestions people made were very provocative – like bryan p. said I
should try considering blindspot and google as hypertext projects…

another query:

what are people's favorite hypertext projects, or should I say writers? and
why?

best, rachel

Subject: RHIZOME_RAW: about hypertext

does anyone have good hypertext resouces to suggest? think of someone whose
motto is 'I hate hypertext' – what would you send them to change their
mind, or to get them to appreciate this form. I am more interested right now
in hypertext analysis than hypertext work… thanks, rachel

++++++++++++++++++

it all depends on how much of a stickler you are about the "text" part. Here are some of my favorite "web narratives" (a less limiting term than "hypertext literature"), listed from most text-centric to least text-centric:

1. http://media.k10k.net/issues/issue006/index.htm [plain old illustrators and graphic designers can do it]

2. http://www.teleportacia.org/war/war.html [yes, hypertext narrative has been among us from the start]

3. http://www.tank20.com/MARSHA/ [even though i know how it was done, it still creeps me out]

4. http://www.marrowmonkey.com/lair/index.htm [shockwave yes, but mostly text-based, just like its sequel chroma ( http://www.marrowmonkey.com/ ) is shockwave, but mostly "spoken text" based]

5. http://www.worldofawe.net/ [the cremaster cycle of net art]

also, I call these pieces fugal narrative:
6-11. http://www.deepyoung.org/permanent/fugue/
[their underlying structures are fundamentally non-linear, regardless of the amount of "words" involved.]

mr clauss is making poetry without words, works which inspire images,
feelings and narratives in the end-user. So interesting and inviting in
visual and tactile engagement that mental stimulation makes verbal
narratives free flowing from those who experience the pieces.

barabara lattanzi - film? hypertext? poetry? you decide

david crawford, make your own narratives, there's one in every face.

thanks for these, though I didn't see hypertext, in the sense of links/text
being central in clauss' work… I'll keep looking. – thanks tho, rachel
