gone in a flash – week 7

this weeks reading gave us some nice info about korsakow itself from someone who has worked with the created of the program (and adrian,who is even quoted in it).it brought up points that were discussed in the lecture about interactivity and narrative in regards to how much control the audience has over interpretation. for example, here’s this quote from the article: “the juxtaposition by itself of course does not result in montage, it is up to the filmmaker to construct a logic that determines which images appear together, when they appear and what kind of relationships they enter into with one another”. this discusses the actual style of korsakow itself as a non-linear interface that is not about what is the content but more about how the content is put together to create connections and relations.

one of the smaller points of the article that i found really interesting was the stuff about the difference between older programs such as korsakow compared to new stuff like a done, java and flash. adobe may become obsolete in the future and so any films uploaded online using flash or other adobe software may cease to exist, negating the whole idea of internet films and things being accessible. not even accessible on certain mobile devices such as iPads- backwards thinking. older films from 1900 may have longer lasting rate than more current films produced and distributed using software like adobe. can the older adobe files still be accessible once software is updated?
