Cool, little american astronaut jumping on the moon. This is the journal of cult media, seems to be your typical run of the mill trad. aca. style journal... but let's have a further look later? yes! hooray. Intensities: the Journal of Cult Media. I'm really impressed with blog this now, and i'm really impressed with how fast i type these days, and at how loud my keyboard is. i wonder if that sound could be included on a network collaborative project thingie! wooo! (ps just realised also, i've never given adrian my honours blog!)

Here is a course on hypertext and multimedia, the interesting thing is that they are studying the 'pictorial turn' of Mitchell, which i just read about last night. I hope that somehow, studies like the ones in this course, will aid my proposal - why am i studying picture theory, hypertext and david lynch. that is the question i keep asking myself.

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."
