New York City or Dust

This is a study on 'text and image in [on-line] narrativeAcademic: Duck Song. The summary goes like this: "Writing for the World Wide Web involves the use of different forms of text. Some of these forms draw on long standing literary conventions, others are unique to the web, where many of the distinctions between image and text have become blurred. The Flight of Ducks takes the textual form of a journey through a landscape and turns it into a contextual universe where hypertext paths can be taken through a datascape. These paths form stories. Narratives that can dip into their paper bound origins or plunge into the poetics of the screen space. In this space they are composed into shimmering pixilated displays where image and text are inseparable and anyone can participate."
