teaspoons & things

thinking (and writing) about silverware...

new year new course

new course as in teaching. postmodern literature with a focus on materiality and structure. while constructing the syllabus I came upon some interesting ideas on mapping lit. here is one.

Stefanie Posavec "On the Map"

(this is fun too, although not related: literature map)

now any brilliant ideas on discussion or assignment structuring for 37 students would be most welcome. :)

poe poe poe

Some elevators for the documentary book (coming soon). More photos also coming soon. Seattle elevators by Heather Robison. :)

flash-back or back-then flash

Writing about elevators and Bruce Nauman's Going Around the Corner Piece has me thinking about where we're going (technology-wise) and where we've been (also, admittedly, procrastinating). I stumbled upon this--my very first Flash piece EVER and also the artist statement I wrote to go with it (3 years ago!), back when I was first discovering hypertext. What's interesting is that it's very similar (though not as good) to some of the final projects my students are currently composing. The Flash work is obviously not fantastic but, for me, there's still something charming (and nostalgic) about it. What's funny, too, is that what's crammed into this little poem are bits and pieces of what's still inspiring me today.

So here's a little end-of-semester flashback to Subatomic Love Song (there are rollovers!)
