k.. i'm imagining.. and i'm freaking out...
maybe i just produce too slowly.
it takes me a good long time to write my blog posts- and I shed tears any time i
have to do site redesign b/c i'm so visually impaired.
i want to beleeeeeeeve!
but i don't!
oh, i'm hoping to have vogs in a moo (i wanted to take this guest spot into a moo actually to show and have a real time conversation about vogs, still happy to do it if people interested). and yes, to be moosavvy there is alearning curve, and it's another medium that privileges text literacy too (moos are a very sophisticated sort of literacy particularly the punning that goes on).>
wheee! and that's a very interesting point. Well, let me qualify- MOO'ers privilege the textuality of MOOs- hence the "GUI MOOs are a sell-out" rhetoric.
and before i hijack this into a discuss about MOOs, this all comes back to
perception.
We generally don't think of text as a visual medium- despite all that ascii art.
(and this is part of why, as John Cayley argues, poets tend to make good digital
literary art, cause poets have been concerned with the materiial/visual/aural
quality of the word for some time..)
MOOvogs would be fascinating.
especially b/c you could play with the notion of a screening- a temporally based
communal experience of the work.
