After taking a most excellent class at Trinity College entitled "Electric English," I decided I wanted to continue with an independent study of the topic of new media literature. Hopefully I will find some great pieces to share and perhaps even attempt some digital literature of my own!

After Reading
After reading an interview with Professor Jessica Pressman (Yale) on the subject of digital literature, I found this site. So far I've watched "Dakota," and I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet, but I know I want to watch it again. It seems to be a Flash execution, but I'm not sure. I love the use of the percussion instruments to punctuate the flashing of the words/phrases on the screen and the use of different fonts and times on screen to create emphasis and speed of thought. At first it seems to be a bunch of kids kicking around with some beers, but then it rapidly descends into a crazy story laced with pop culture references that I haven't yet been able to follow (and maybe that's the point). In any case, it's worth seeing.
