It's incredible how one can give a new dimensions to the poem by using hypertext. In the print text, main ideas are expressed mainly by words. In this poem-engine, other tools were also used: numbers provide the idea of anonymity, 3D effect represents the space, xyz coordinates give the location, and the distribution of the words can be viewed as a correspondence. I think there is also an idea of perspective, because any time we move the cursor we change our perspective of the words in the plane (space), but the pattern of the xyz coordinates stays the same. Generally, I just like anything that looks simple on the first look, but carries hidden meanings. <br />sonickahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17556194120329082314noreply@blogger.com
