Cultures in Webs: Working in Hypermedia with the Documentary Image
This CD-ROM explores how hypertextual writing and image-making merge in creating projects with nonfiction materials such as photographs, video clips, audio recordings and observational notes. The work includes two hypertextual field projects, one concerning a wine harvest in Burgundy, France, and the other concerning a series of performances in Ghana. The project uses an html-based format to weave among differing modes of writing and image-presentation. The section "The Harvest" was selected for exhibition in the 2001 ELO "State Of The Arts" symposium gallery. Based on two months of participant observation working the harvest at a small vineyard in France, the project combines diaristic writing, visual notes, dialog, exposition, and other forms of writing alongside a fifty-four image sequence. The work also includes videos and slide shows. "Concealed Narratives" offers two routes, interactive paths by which users travel to a series of public events in Ghana. The work explores how cultural battles are imagined and how stories get expressed through performances, visual tropes, and metaphors.

El postrero deseo de Eugenia Villasans
El lector se encuentra, en un primer nivel de lectura con una carta de Eugenia Vilasans, que se superpone a una fotografía en sepia de ella. La carta fue escrita en 1926 y permaneció escondida hasta que muriera la autora, quien confiesa la historia de su adulterio. Después de esta introducción, un link invita a acudir al escritorio de Vilasans para recomponer la historia, en donde se exponen, a modo de papeles sueltos, los fragmentos dispersos. La imagen resulta una buena metáfora del hipertexto. Postales, recortes de periódicos, hojas de diarios personales con diferentes fechas, cartas del amante, conforman la trama. Un relato epistolar que debe ensamblarse con un puzzle.
