Project Details
- "Waxweb, based on David Blair's electronic feature 'Wax or the discovery of television among the bees' (85:00, 1991), is a large constructive hypertext that has been converted to MOO-space (Object-Oriented MUDs) as part of the Hypertext Hotel."
- "Waxweb is a practical and aesthetic experiment in multiple-media, integrated narrative. It is a laboratory for a planned electronic feature investigating how artists can produce multiple-media integrated narratives out of a single dataset using hybrid tools to affordably create a multitude of hybrid forms to form a single narrative."
- "On-site users are able to read from and write to the film - in essence, to reprocess it. An introductory document to the hypertext features of the MOO is available by anonymous ftp from count.cs.brown.edu in /pub/hypertext/docs.txt"
