Hello everyone; My name is Scott McClellan, and I according to
the list I am in Group 2. Following the generous outline I am a
second or third year in the Arts&Sciences college.

I really have had only a limited amount of interaction with
hypertexts, unless you count Choose your Own Adventure books, but
that was when I was a touch younger. (I still find them
interesting however...). I have had some background in PoMo
theory and degenerate literature. I also work mostly in some
poetic vain/vein, which comes and goes, but ffor the course I'd
like to explore some of the methods that an artist (visual,
performance, literary...) could use in a hypertextual medium. It
is an expansive space, I think, which requires some use. As to
theory, well, my jury is still out on its utility to reverse
Plato's concept of poetry...

Scott
