NOTE OF IMPORTANCE. like Kirsten, I had made reading holiday plans which
didn't forsee this friday class. I have a plane reservation, which i
tried to change, and it leaves during class tomorrow. I am sorry, and i
know you really stressed that we don't miss class for early departures.
However, like Kirsten, I won't be there and promise this is my only
abscence. I know i am alwyas apologizing, but i hate missing imp. things
(class and meetings would define "things"). Sorry, i will be at the
meeting wed. morning.
i do think spatial relations are cantral to Glazier in his poem and
hiswider array of concerns. I often was jumping around, jumping from
thought to thoought and from space (mental and on the scrren) to space.
it worked- i felt "displACED."
Idon't think all sides can be seen at once with hypertext, because the
object you are trying to see is amorphous..and constantly changng. so just
when you think you understand/see it all, you get another angle. I am lost
in the lexicon of galzier, but i think that is his mission as an
avant-gardist. his poem is computer art and i really see a lot of
similarities with awhat e is doing and what he ffels with the avant gardes
from the earlier part of our century. because of what E is- an enigma in
my opinion, i find discussing it linearally very difficult. Therefore,
Glazier succeeded.
