Description
It is an experiement in fluid text. Text appears on the screen, dissolves and transforms continuously, resulting in a representation of a wandering stream of consciousness. The structure of the work revolves around the three themes : forgetting, remembering and dreaming. The work was built as a recursive tree of interconnected texts. At each branching point of the tree, there are always three options, one each corresponding to forgetting, remembering and dreaming. The piece in operation moves through three phases, also related to the three themes. While in a phase, the branching mechanism favours the branches identified with the theme of the phase. (i.e. while in a dreaming phase, the computer will prefer to take the dreaming branches). (source: http://homepage.mac.com/davidrokeby/ll.html)
