3. Migration as Translation: Moving Figurski to the Web

   "Traduttore e traditore." [The translator betrays.]

   Migrating an early hypertext novel originally created with proprietary software programmed in C and published on a removeable disk, to HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for the World Wide Web, as we have done for Richard Holeton’s Figurski at Findhorn on Acid, is an act of translation—one involving not only the translation of its code, but also of its interface design and its functionality. As such, translation impacts our experience with the work, ultimately betraying it as some aspects of it becomes lost in the effort to make it found by a new audience. In a digital translation aimed at restoring access to a work that has become technologically obsolete, the gain is so much greater than the loss. In the case of Figurski, especially, it means that we can now again read one of the most unique and quirky interactive novels of the early 21st Century.

9. Hypertext with Consequences: Recovering a Politics of Hypertext

   At first glance, it can be difficult to understand what hypertext, a technology, has to do with social and political issues of gender and identity. After all, given adequate resources and training, anyone can create and use a hypertext authoring system. And while problems of differential access to resources and training are pressing, they are often viewed as better belonging to the social realms of education and resource allocation than to those of hardware and software; they do not impinge on the design of hypertext systems except peripherally -- or so the argument goes.

10. Siren shapes: exploratory and constructive hypertext

    The hypertext of the Web is not the hypertext imagined by Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart, or Ted Nelson—as reading these authors makes clear, the Web edition ismuch more limited. Understanding the limitations of the Web’s hypertext is not simply an occasionfor complaint, however. It helps reveal the potential that still lies within the hypertext concept, untapped by mainstream new media. In the following essay, Michael Joyce gave a name to animportant distinction between two types of hypertext environments—those that are “exploratory”and those that are “constructive.” His distinction maps onto significant differences between theenvironment in which we currently experience the Web and the ideas of early hypertext creators,while also usefully describing other areas of new media, helping reveal both limitations and opportunities.
