(Web Installation 1994)
(re)cursor was my first experiment in non-linear
narrative through the use of multiple interfaces representing multiple
trajectories through the short aphoristic essay. SInce this web-based
piece was created in 1994 - few options existed for advanced interactivity,
so options were limited to clickable hyperlinked images.
The
structure consisted of a series of aphoristic concepts on the virtual
world, ironic images of that world and a numeric linear interface. Each
of these sets of interfaces created what I called a 'narrative lattice'
where users could explore three distinct representations of the piece,
or splice any combination thereof. It was a distant harbinger of my work
in associative texts.
