Project Details
- A hypermedia presentation of the 1976 story by English author J.G. Ballard that consists of a single 18-word sentence, each word having a footnote that leads to links that form the narrative detail of the story.
- Presentation includes illustrations derived from Max Ernst's 1934 collage novel "Une Semaine de Sonte" which has significant connections to Ballard's work.
- This presentation should be seen as a collaboration between three "authors" over a span of years and involving quite different aesthetic worlds.
