2. Will Computer Games Ever Be a Legitimate Art Form?

   Ernest Adams, a veteran of the videogames industry, discusses the art of the videogame and the extent to which videogames themselves are — or can — art. His article explores various working definitions of art and applies these to videogame, noting both points of similarity and divergence. He draws parallels with the film industry, but also highlights the limitations of such comparisons and the problems that the videogame industry has faced previously in imitating too-closely the structures and techniques of the film industry.

4. Media-Specific Metalepsis in 10:01

   ‘In “Media-Specific Metalepsis in 10:01” Alice Bell analyses Lance Olsen and Tim Guthrie’s 10:01 to show that digital fiction facilitates new types of metalepses. More specifically, she shows that both ascending and descending metalepses occur via sound effects, external links, and, visually, via the cursor that the reader uses to select links. She shows that possible worlds theory provides a better approach to metalepsis than the Genettean model, particularly in a digital context, because it allows us to analyse the reader’s role in the metaleptic jump more accurately. Adding a hermeneutic dimension, the chapter concludes that the metaleptic ontological breaches are related to the text’s thematic concern with commerce and consumerism in contemporary Western society.’

5. Digital Fiction and Worlds of Perspective

   ‘In “Digital Fiction and Worlds of Perspective” David Ciccoricco also interrogates narrative theory’s ability to analyze nonprint fiction. Beginning with an overview of classical theoretical models of focalization, he presents an analysis of Judd Morrissey’s (2000) The Jew’s Daughter and Stuart Moulthrop’s (2007) Radio Salience to show how and why narrative theory must be revisited if it is to be applied to narration in digital texts.’

10. "Lost in hyperspace": cognitive mapping and navigation in a hypertext environment

    From the writers: "This paper describes an experiment which looks at how the users of a hypertext document cognitively represent its layout. A document was formed into three different hypertext styles and was presented to the readers, they were then asked a series of questions about information contained in the hypertexts. The way the users found the answers and the time taken was recorded, they were also ask to lay out cards, with reduced versions of the screen on them, on a board and as they thought them to be arranged in the document and also to draw any connecting hypertext links they thought existed between these screens. The users selected for this experiment consisted of 27 university undergraduates 15 male and 12 female with a mean age of 20.5 years with little or no computing experience. They were each assigned one of the three hypertext methods and their performance was recorded. The three methods consisted of a hierarchical, a mixed and an index based method."
