The Minotaur Project
is a cluster of four poems fused with image, movement
and sound. It is part of a hypermedia novel in verse
that explores contemporary issues of identity using
the framework of classical myth. Minotaur appears
as a fragmented persona confined in the computer's
labyrinth. It attempts to understand self and others
(specifically Kore, the main character in this verse
novel) without that primary means of connection
to the sensate world, the body.
