Hypertext

curated by Christy Sheffield Sanford
and Jennifer Ley



    This gathering includes web-specific works of artists and writers from Australia, Germany, France-Holland, and the U.S. Several of the contibutors explore conventions--forms that engage the emotions and popouts that migrate and dance. Others have plumbed the multimedia potential of the medium. Work in the collection favors the interactive and kinetic. To a large extent, this reflects the growing use of dynamic html. The viewer can often play the page, either by unfolding the text--thanks to a show-hide script--or by enlarging the image--courtesy of a Flash-film zoom."

    One thing I especially like about this engaging selection is that the ideas behind the individual pieces open doors to new work. The various techniques and approaches offer inspiration. I think, too, many will be impressed by the poetry, which is textually elegant and intelligent.

    We hope you enjoy this group of web-specific works.
