Best contribution yet to Odyssey discourse:

Coming in 2027: Endurance Media, by Neta Alexander, Shane Denson, David Parisi, and Rachel Plotnick. In the series "In Search of Media" from University of Minnesota Press/meson press!

Three-channel aleatoric work featuring glitchy bees, Silicon Valley ecologies, and real-time text mining and Markov chain generation based on the 1897 volume Die Symbolik der Bienen (Symbolism of Bees) by Johann Philipp Glock. Part of a larger ensemble of works in development!

"Der Verwesungsprozeß ist ein Vervielfältigungsprozeß." (The process of decay is a process of generation.) -- Work in progress with Karin Denson.

I’ll also mention that I’m not trained as a programmer, but I’ve been teaching myself for some aleatoric art collaborations, and this is the tool I wish I had when writing my minute-by-minute book on BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN

Periodic reminder that I made this open-access app, the film|minutes video|graphic workstation, that might be of interest to people writing close analysis of moving-image work (or commenting and feedback for filmmakers too!)

Perfect. Thanks. By the way, had to think of your textpocalypse:

EXTRA/PHENOMENALITIES in Review

People are split on THE BRIDE!, but not on James Whale's 1935 masterpiece BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN! Check out my book -- free on Kindle and super cheap as paperback!

Get the film|minutes video|graphic workstation here: purl.stanford.edu/xq320wq3449. And get the text pack (or a standalone app) for BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN here: purl.stanford.edu/qj474bx8626

Timestamped notes will be synced with the film:

For example, if you want to read the entirety of my BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN book, you can load a copy of the film (there's one on Vimeo at the moment) and grab the text pack I've uploaded on the Stanford Digital Repository (link below).

If you want to read someone else's notes, or if you want to continue working on notes you started previously, choose the folder with those notes.

If you want to write new notes, create a new folder.

Next you'll be prompted to "Choose a folder for new or existing notes."

You'll be prompted to choose a video file on your computer, and a window will open to do so.
