1. Onrust (Restlessness)

   The hyperlinked title on the homepage of the author activates a Flash movie showing handwriting appearing against a greyish background -– not only the writing, but also the empty screen is reminiscent of paper. The most important difference with Oosterhoff’s paper work is the fact that this digital work is time-based, and plays like a movie. The text is not a finished object, it is actually being written as we watch it, or so it seems. There are no images in the work and no hyperlinks. The digital or internet context is thus not activated in any way, and the ‘permeability’ (Tabbi 2004: 215) of reading in an electronic environment is thus reduced as much as possible.
