Lexia to Perplexia
by Talan Memmott

 

"Lexia to Perplexia" is a deconstructive/grammatological look at the construction of User narratives through the attachment to the Internet apparatus. A mix between theory and fiction, the work makes wide use of neologisms, advanced coding, and graphics while exploring the hidden agencies of attachment and network desire.

This title can be read on the web at trace.ntu.ac.uk/newmedia/lexia, and incorporates many DHTML features. It requires Netscape 4.x or Internet Explorer 4.x or 5.x, but it is not compatible with Netscape version 6.0.
