Get infected...with the Pandemic Flu!
Self described “artist/writer/coder” Jason Nelson has created a work of virtual text/poetry that is simultaneously intriguing and terrifying. Clicking on the first page, the user of this virtual text is invited to “get the flu,” and once infected, is guided through a process leading from affliction to cleansing. In each stage of the “flu,” the participant is encouraged to interact with the piece, allowing the viewer to really feel a connection with this work of art.
I call it a “work of art” because it is more than poetry, more than video, more than sound – it is an all-encompassing, interactive piece of, well…of technotext! Comparable to no other form of art, this technotext is a revolutionary culmination of technology leading from the literary all the way to complex code. Beautiful!
Get infected here...
