But the Kuleshov effect was meant to be created on
purpose. The link analogy you suggest can create
unwanted results (because the links can send the
audience to places out of the author's control).
true but i'm a fan of the unwanted effect. noise is sometimes good.
actually no, i'm not a fan of the unwanted effect, of a fan of
stochastic process and the opportunities it introduces.
yes links can create unwanted effects. but an example i often use
here is a section in jane douglas' book on hypertext "the end of
books or books without end?" where there is a lengthy description of
returning to the same node in "afternoon" 3 or 4 different ways and
how the meaning of the node changes each time. it's the kuleshov
effect rediscovered.
