The story Strings contained a motion picture of words. One word that stood out to me was 'haha'. Once I clicked on it the word took on a slinky effect and become longer across the page, as if growing into a bigger laugh.
After clicking on Argument 2 the choice of words that were presented were 'yes', 'no', and 'maybe'. These three words appeared separately and at times one word would overshadow the other two words. This image reminded me of the internal battle of uncertainty that goes through the mind when trouble with indecision. This piece is different but I found it somewhat relatable.
In the piece Dawn I first noticed the sound effects. The sound was extremely distracting and resembled popcorn popping or a tree as it breaks away from its trunk. It became difficult reading the text as it would fade in and out.
The Jew's Daughter was interesting as the text in the story would change after mousing over the highlighted word. I lost count of how many screens changed. I'm wondering what the pattern is regarding what changes are made specifically and why certain words are highlighted. Sometimes the highlighted terms or changes would include one word or an entire line of words.
After clicking on a box at the top of the page a drop box appeared allowing the reader to turn to any page that is typed in the box. I typed in page 700 which read, "colorfully eyecatching, in one recess of a caraboard display unit". It's a puzzle that never ends.
This inspired an idea for my "imagined self", images that never end.
1. I'm at the beach, looking at the never ending ocean
2. At playground, on swing, a push starts me off and momentum takes over
3. Lying on the roof of my house looking at the sky, gazing at the endless stars
Just a few rough ideas
