the most interesting part of chapter 3 in digital art was about the text and narrative environments that Ted Nelson has been experimenting with since before the major spread of the internet. the use of hypertext to write stories has transformed into an art of placing words in a "contextual and referential framework." this form of digital art is very much like the dreamweaver project we had assigned. especially with my project, the words are what propelled each page and the lyrics to the song is what made the project made sense. with each word was a different message that led to the ultimate page that linked all of them together. as the book states, postmodern and post-structuralist theory says that "dungeon crawls" do not have to go in order or be completely sequential to make sense. i think was true of many peoples dreamweaver projects because they all had separate links to choose from, which each took us to a different page.
the project "text rain" by Camille Utterback and Romy Achituv in 1999, the letters of words make up the majority of the idea. the words form around the body's shadows and then drip off of them from rain, which includes people's interactions within the experience. this inclusion of people within projects is what makes digital art today so interesting. it is interactive and personal and makes people get involved with art.
