Tuesday's readings :)

For Tuesday, we will look at some hypertext pieces and apply the knowledge you gleaned from today's readings. I am providing links to four pieces here and one interview with an author. Read Lexia to Perplexia by Talon Memmott and the interview about his piece.

Chasing our Tails

Cracked Mirror

Life With Father (photo-essay/poetry, click the "life with father" link)

For these other three examples, look over all three to determine which hypertext patterns each follows. Also, determine the purpose, meaning/intent, author/reader control, navigation, design, sense of identity, use of images, etc. (Think about our web critique sheet :) )

Lexia to Perplexia is a bit abstract, so here are a couple other articles to help shed some light on the text before and after you interact with it. Here is the first article !

Here is another article by Thomas Dreher, entitled Talan Memmott's "Lexia to Perplexia" (how creative, yes?). Anyways, this one discusses how and why it was crafted the way in which it was.
