I think a true non-linear narrative would be
closer to free poetry than to traditional prose.
It would be interesting to try something like
that in video, sort of audiovisual haikus.
yes, and they can be wonderful. but again they require a
sophisticated literacy (like the people on this list). but there are
something like 300 people in this list, i know a rave list that has a
membership of 80,000. i'm wondering (apart from the vjs making video
haikus at the raves) if these 'work' for the popular audience.
why does that matter? perhaps it doesn't. but i know every telco in
the world is looking for killer content for all that unused bandwidth
(US telco's spent 4 trillion US dollars and bandwidth, most of it
unused), and popular interactive video (ie interactive video that is
popular) would be a good use of this bandwidth and might then provide
the infrastructure/economy/literacy to invent it.
