dali clocks: time dimensions of hypermedia >>
Offering experiential critiques of various Net artists,
Stephanie Strickland argues that the hypermedia of the
Net represents a live socket between human cognition time
and computer processing time. Within the ever-present
Net space, where concepts of ãnowä and ãsimultaneityä
are more accurately expressed and experienced, surveyors
of hypermedia can obtain a greater understanding of the
microfluctuating fractal process of forming an impression,
rather then simply being presented with the rendered impression
itself. Thus, cybertext embodies a perusable extension
of human minds, making it a valuable mechanism for exercising
our systems of perception.

[from the site:]
ãIf the last half of the 20th century fell under the spell of linguistics
and genetics, I suggest that the special understanding of both, ãgenome as
book,ä must give way to an understanding that is inherently dynamic,
inextricably statistical, and informationally multimedial in its forms of
analysis; an understanding that is less about structure and more about
resonance, about the ongoing fitting of moving mind to moving world through
moving medium. My thesis is that Web-specific art and literature is where
this understanding is being developed.ä
