Yes, it's good work, isn't it. I came across it somehow last week in my
search for Canadian digital writers. I was surprised to find that it was
done in 2002--it won at FILE in 2002. Anyway, it's very hypertext, isn't
it--I mean the weave of it. Though it is more hypermedial than hypertextual
in its media. Though it does 'stem' from 'apple' and text plays crucial
roles in it. But it is more successfully diverse in its media than many a
hypertext.

The other work is exceptionally good also, I felt. 'Meanwhile' (
http://meanwhile.ca ) profits from the structuring of possible paths through
the nine video scenes. It wouldn't be as interesting simply as a
straight-through movie. And it is not simply the structuring of the paths
but the filmic relations between the scenes that gives it that boost.

Tic tac toe. Each square could be a scene. Each letter could be a character
or a sub-story.

Re: David Clark's work


...u 4got his collaborators Pascale Malaterre and
Rob Whynot in tha case of this wurk:
RIDDLED WITH THE STINX
http://riddledwiththestinx.net/stinx

You're right. I should have included that information. OK then, I'll try
again. Here is some fine work by David Clark and friends:

A IS FOR APPLE
http://aisforapple.net
David Clark, Rob Whynot, Randy Knott, Rob Gervais
"A is for Apple is an interactive work that investigates a cryptography of
the apple. Using an ever expanding series of associative links, the work
looks for hidden meanings, coincidences and insights that stem from the
apple. This leads to a vast web of references from western metaphysics,
popular culture, the history of cryptography, ideas of language, and
psychoanalytic theory."

MEANWHILE
http://meanwhile.ca
David Clark, Jeff Howard, Chris Mendis, Shelley Simmons
"Godard once said that a film must have a beginning, middle and an end but
not necessarily in that order. MEANWHILE explores new ways to detour from
the well-trodden path of narrative by giving the viewer a choice at the end
of each scene as to which direction in time they want to move in the story.
The nine scenes in this screwball comedy can be seen in any order; each path
revealing the intricate interconnectivity of the characters follies,
obsessions, and ambitions."

David Clark's work


Here is some fine work by Canada's David Clark:

A IS FOR APPLE
http://aisforapple.net
"A is for Apple is an interactive work that investigates a cryptography of
the apple. Using an ever expanding series of associative links, the work
looks for hidden meanings, coincidences and insights that stem from the
apple. This leads to a vast web of references from western metaphysics,
popular culture, the history of cryptography, ideas of language, and
psychoanalytic theory."

MEANWHILE
http://meanwhile.ca
"Godard once said that a film must have a beginning, middle and an end but
not necessarily in that order. MEANWHILE explores new ways to detour from
the well-trodden path of narrative by giving the viewer a choice at the end
of each scene as to which direction in time they want to move in the story.
The nine scenes in this screwball comedy can be seen in any order; each path
revealing the intricate interconnectivity of the characters follies,
obsessions, and ambitions."
