[Nettime-bold] ARTS@LARGE: PUSHING HYPERTEXT IN NEW DIRECTIONS |
Greetings Nettimers, Hi --I thought this might interest you --forwarded via Benton Foundation on the Issues of Arts Online and Hypertexts..it also includes..the..Judd Morrissey, "Jew's Daughter," an online story....he presents a startling alternative to conventional hypertext..a new revolution.. Judd Morrissey's *The Jew's Daughter* is located at <http://www.thejewsdaughter.com> After several years of intense activity, few new digital art works are appearing. Are artists on a summer break? Are the waiting for the commissioning spigot to start spewing dollars? Perhaps artists may be taking time to ponder in which direction they should push the medium next. There are two new works of note, however. "The Jew's Daughter," an online story by Judd Morrissey, presents a startling alternative to conventional hypertext fiction, in which a hyperlinked word or phrase sends a cursor-clicking reader to another page, where another hyperlinked phrase awaits. Isabel Chang, a New York artist, did not write the interactive story that appears on her Web site, but her work is no less original. Her "aspergillum gently" is a multimedia adaptation of "Pedro Páramo," an existentialist 1955 novel by the Mexican author Juan Rulfo. [This is the final column in the Arts@Large series that began with the launch of The New York Times on the Web in January 1996.] [SOURCE: CyberTimes, AUTHOR: Matthew Mirapaul (mirapaul@nytimes.com)] <http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/00/07/cyber/artsatlarge/27artsatlarge.html> -------------------------------------------------------------- (c)Benton Foundation 2000.
