Hypertext im
Diskurs (German)
|
Philipp
Loeser explains why hypertext tends towards
self-referentiality and tends towards utopian
thinking, examines why hypertext is
ahistorical, apolitical, and a social menace,
and shows that it is a fallacy to think that
hypertext's non-linearity somehow liberates
the reader. This clever presentation invites
your critical response
[>>>Abstract].

Fluchtlinie
(German)

Beat
Suter traces the history of German
hyperfiction. He evaluates the German
Internet pioneers, looks back at some
symposia and conferences, and provides a
behind the scenes look at the Pegasus
Wettbewerbe. It's a who's who and what's what
of German hyperfiction.

Roberto
Simanowski explores the deep meaning and
comic effects of animated pictures in this
prizewinner of the '98 "net_award" (sponsored
by the Saarländer Stadtwerke). The
review discusses the impressive
transformation of an image into a sculpture
of Paris, that at one moment looks like Cary
Grant and at another like Discobolus,
considers the distortions produced by word,
image, and sound, and examines how the
submerged image of a corpse reveals that the
author is not interested in serious
discussion [>>>Abstract].
