Follow the Dots

I really liked the layout of 88 Constellations. I liked that you could start with Gemini--watching a creepy image of twins flicker on the screen (which was not okay, I'm just gonna throw that out there)--and somehow get all the way to Hitler. (And from there some simpler connections: Charlie Chaplin, Globe, etc.) I also liked that depending on where you started, your perception of the purpose of 88 Constellations would change.

For instance, I didn't really understand that this whole project had to do with the L-guy until I started over. Way cool.

I thought this was an interesting way to interpret the whole collage/uncanny thing. Being able to span topics with only loose connections seems overwhelming. Like everything's connected, in this strange, creepy way. (Again, twins. Why?)

The loose associations were the highlight of this for me. I feel like you could spend hours trolling the hypertext and learn so much random junk. It must have taken forever to put together. (I also liked the idea of free flowing thought as a narrative form. I think it would work well within the context of a collage, but would be hard to pull off in like a cut-up or something. But it might be a venture worth undertaking.)
