I know its late…

late because this blog is no longer being assessed and nobody will be reading this anymore…and late in the sense that it’s two forty five a.m.
but i felt like i got something to share so, here it is:

whilst conversing with my peer, production and media essay partner, Linda SHI about our media essay, I had an epiphany – one that should have seemed obvious from the start – about the nature of hyper-narrative/collage (and our networked essay, to which it lends it’s form):

Linda: ‘…the whole original idea was so that all our posts are linked and we’re responding to each other ( but we don’t necessarily have to say: responding to blah blah blah) like our posts are in a way the result of another post but they can be singular arguments and we can link within the posts’
Me: ‘yeh that is very well put!! xD sorry i kinda got confused and lost track of our concept. thanks! And that way they are both responses of each other depending on which one the reader lands on first…so the whole nature of the media essay or hypertext at least is temporally paradoxical’

Although linear when viewed by a reader who chooses their own path through the collage, as a database, all the individual parts paradoxically and simultaneously all exist before each other.

Me: ‘WOW……sooo deeep!!! i need a joint now’
