From Ursa Minor to Hercules and deeper

What the hell is up with all of the space travel i've been doing recently this month? Ok, let's drop that thought for a moment. I am not going to even try to say that i've watched all 88 videos; because that would be insane. But the recurrent themes: video, doubling, pop culture; it's a cacophony of imagery and symbolism; it's a credit to the theme of symbology.

Navigating at first seemed simple, I chose a constellation, would watch a video, and would return to the constellation menu. Then, I realized I could click on the constellation map and journey to the specific stars inside of the constellation, going deeper into this world and deeper into the videos.

I gave up after four constellations led me to the deeper cuts from what is music and the life (and suicide) of Alan Turing and I was led all the way to Chaplin, Hitler, American consumerism and the history of the dollar sign.

What it seems to me is that the "deeper" you go into the videos, the more the lines between them blur and suddenly we are inside of a world of poetry, music, film and conspiracy. There's a great conspiratory tone to the whole hypertext, and I really enjoyed it.

I'm not going to make my workshop a hypertext story. (I've already done that. I made it about Slender Man. Too much deja vu for one day)
