It scrolls through their database and allows searching on year, project title, author, artist, genre. I like this lookup a lot. I&#8217;d like to see many other sites using it. <\/p>\n<p>I wanted to know the earliest year of publication &#8211; 1997. Looking at the multimedia experiments from 1997 &#8211; the tools have come a long way. <\/p>\n<p>The site makes me wonder about the book format. I know how to read books. I&#8217;m not sure I know how to &#8220;read&#8221; multimedia experiments. I felt more like I was &#8220;eating&#8221; them, like bonbons. And I didn&#8217;t have the correct versions installed and didn&#8217;t have sound enabled, which limited my experience. I turned off a lot of them midway, disengaged.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m uneasy with floating text that comes and goes. Text should stay put, I should come and go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>born magazine, &#8220;an experimental venue marrying literary arts and interactive media.
