Description: Created specifically for the ELO Symposium, this piece is a textual response to net art and electronic literature, in the form of an essay/poem/opinion as animated gif. Words replace each other over time. The user is not allowed to interact in any way other than opening or closing the page. The piece exposes a personal nostalgia for linear things, exact categorization, and known objects as well as a simultaneous excitement and apprehension regarding the future or net art, virtual worlds, and abstract literature.
