A selection of hypertext stories written in the HypeDyn hypertext authoring tool will be shown at the CNM “Random Blends” exhibition this coming week. Here are the details of the exhibition: http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/cnm/news/random_blends.htm.
The description of the works is as follows:
FRAGMENTS: SELECTED STORIES FROM NM3222 INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING
“Closure is, as in any fiction, a suspect quality, although here it is made manifest. When the story no longer progresses, or when it cycles, or when you tire of the paths, the experience of reading ends… There is no simple way to say this.”
(Michael Joyce, afternoon: a story)
Fragments is a collection of short hypertext fictions written by students in NM3222 Interactive Storytelling. Created using the HypeDyn authoring tool, these works represent explorations of narrative, agency and play, investigating the nature of story and the role of the reader/writer in electronic literature.
