Circle Net Intersections
[performed in a seminar in Hangar]

comments:

CXE is another work developed in Hangar. In this case we state the idea of navigation as authorship. A navigation which makes links. This concept already was published in Hypertext by George Landow, and it is present in an implicit way in Xanadu by Ted Nelson. It's a collective creation activity centred in the relationship between authorship and local point of view during the building process of a non-linear navigation structure.

It is made by 3 work teams connected by a Local Network. Each team plays as one author.

In a first phase, we ask people to edit graphics in a specific format and to insert in a hypertext file and save them in the server. 26 files were made in our first experience.

The second phase could be called creative navigation. Each team takes files out the server, adds a link and returns them. They must work one-by-one, like in an usual navigation.

You can see the link structure generated by this experience. The most interesting aspect is the distribution of the links and the density changes. You can see how some nodes are not visited and other ones looks like an atractor. The navigation in this network and the elaboration of its diagram generated a very interesting discussion. We don't discard to program an automated on-line version in the future.
