DISCLAIMER: Time caught us off-guard and we had only five minutes to discuss this piece.


 * Notes on //The Dreamlife of Letters//:**

- Some of us were frustrated because we weren’t able to view the work that this piece was responding to. - The piece focuses primarily on visuality. - It also features constrained writing style. - The way of composing a piece that is structured alphabetically does not belong to digital-lit, but to other avant-garde genre. - The work is accessible to all and it is fun to experience. - Some of us were disappointed that we couldn’t interact with it. - The piece captures our full attention. We are constantly conscious about what we see. - There is certain elements of drama to it that engages our attention. - The selections of words are pre-determined. Even though, for the most part, they seem random, but they inform certain cultural and ideological concepts. - The author produced in the work a reading of other text. The piece is not totally “original.” - The piece teases us in a way. It leads us to form a meaning that perhaps is not fully true. - The reading experience gives some kind of pleasure. Things move around and form different meaning. - The motion of the words give different reading experience. - No images, no sounds, no interactions, but the work is still fun and forms some kind of a meaning. - It constantly gives a dynamic action.
