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.
