 Fiction and Hypermedia   

 

Reach

    Joyce, Michael. "Reach." Iowa Review, May 2000. <http://www.uiowa.edu/~iareview/tirweb/hypermedia/
michael_joyce/ReachTitle.html
>
    (29 Oct. 2000)

This is an innocent looking hypermedium that reveals a sophisticated interplay of narrative poetics. Three buttons allow the reader to move the word "reach" up and down a list of words to reveal interweaving narrative episodes. X & <, the middle button progresses the reader through the given narrative of position for the word "reach", the other two loop the reader back onto the narrative of a given position.

This is an ingenious approach that allows an unfolding of the story along several narrative pathways.

Lasting Image

    Joyce, Michael, and Carolyn Guyer. "Lasting Image." Eastgate. 2000. <http://www.eastgate.com/LastingImage/Welcome.html> (29 Oct. 2000)

A bifurcated approach to this hypertext is required by its form, resulting in tangential crossroads and paths that reveal themes of mnemonic clarity and ambiguity. The rice paper and watercolor images present an aesthetically pleasing panorama that allows the reader a sense of spatial and temporal meandering. A linear Western approach is represented by arrow links, providing  a particular manner of readerly progress, which is nicely contrasted by an Eastern approach of embedded nodal transparencies. 

The contrasting of Eastern and Western philosophical methods is evidenced by the photographs that become cards. Are these merely cards of entertainment or do they suggest methods of divination? The image of a wooden camera that takes miraculous photographs may be an allegory for the hypermedium, encouraging us to develop aesthetic applications for technology. 

Joyce in Berlin

    Joyce, Michael. "Joyce in Berlin." Hörspiel (voice play) for Osmotic Minds: Berlin Alexanderplatz 5.0, by Stefan Schemat, Hilmar Schmundt, Michael Joyce, and Isabella Bordoni. Augmented Reality Fiction. Berlin. February 27, 1999. Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mention in the Interactive Art Category 1999.
<
http://www.uiowa.edu/~iareview/tirweb/hypermedia/michael_joyce/ReachTitle.html>      (30 Oct. 2000) 

This is an interactive hypermedia experience that seeks to bring virtual reality back to the reality from which it came, using headphones, satellite hookups and footsteps instead of mouseclicks.

This appears to be an attempt to come full circle and go through virtual reality to attain a greater appreciation for and heightened perception of  "reality."

Sister Stories

   Joyce, Michael. "Sister Stories."  Eastgate Systems. forthcoming. Collaborative hypertext fiction (with Rosemary Joyce and Carolyn Guyer).    <http://iberia.vassar.edu/~mijoyce/SisterStories.html>  (27 Oct. 2000)

This is an evolving collaboration with archeologist Rosemary Joyce to examine scribes, narratives, and gender in a manner that allows the stories to "find places within which to be."

I really like the idea behind this and the Mexican mythology that provides its basis.

On the Birthday of a Stranger

    Joyce, Michael. "On the birthday of the stranger..." Evergreen Review. 1999. <http://www.evergreenreview.com/102/evexcite/joyce/nojoyce.html> (30 Oct. 2000)       (There is also a Flash splashscreen version for those who like moving things.)

Interstitial nodal layers of hypertext; at least three narratives occurring simultaneously, in variegated hypermedial unfolding.

This is a really interesting approach, one that envelopes the reader and requires a surrender of sorts to the artifice of the medium.

Twelve Blue

    Joyce, Michael. " Twelve Blue." Eastgate Systems. 1996. Co-published with Postmodern Culture world-wide-web hyperfiction. Postmodern Culture and Eastgate Systems (Co-published). 1996 and1997.  <http://www.evergreenreview.com/102/evexcite/joyce/nojoyce.html>  (27 Oct. 2000)

The Hypermedium seems particularly welcoming to Joyce's fiction. His writing style is episodic and therefore allows the reader an open approach from various directions. The layout of this page contains what look like wavelengths on a graph, each leading to a narrative "station". It is as if the reader were turning the dial on a radio, picking up narrative frequencies from an authorial transmitter.

This is a story of lost highway roadside attractions and the somewhat desperate souls hitchhiking past, trying to escape from various memory county jail cells.

Twilight

    Joyce, Michael. "Twilight." Eastgate Systems. 1996.  <http://www.eastgate.com/catalog/Twilight.html> ( 29 Oct. 2000)

I did not get a chance to purchase this software but the reviews are really positive. Here is an excerpt from the Eastgate web page: "Michael Joyce's Twilight, A Symphony is a courageous and innovative exploration of home, family, and the nostalgia that can't ever quite replace them. At the heart of Twilight is erstwhile reporter Hugh Colin Enright. Estranged from his wife, on the run, and sequestered with his infant son on the shores of Pleasant Lake, Hugh is befriended by an eccentric Polish politcal refugee and his wife, Magda. Years later, Hugh and the ailing Magda are together again, on a macabre odyssey in search of the Twilight doctor, the only person who might be willing to help Magda end her life. In its fearless exploration of death and desire, Twilight, A Symphony takes an unflinching yet deeply compassionate look at the fears and longings that haunt us all." Info about Twilight, a Symphony Eastgate Systems 1996.

Afternoon, A Story

Scholarship


   "Constructive hypertexts require a capability to act: to create, to change and to recover particular encounters within the developing body of knowledge. These encounters, like those in exploratory hypertexts, are maintained as versions , i.e., trails, paths, webs, notebooks, etc.; but they are versions of what they are becoming, a structure for what does not yet exist.
