The Last 88 Goodbyes to Wunderkammer

The Last Performance was quite interesting but also confusing. It was a text based, visual art that moved and created images with the text. The piece allows the reader to explore through the words and click on certain text to be taken to another page with short posts from the author. I liked how it drew the reader in with the moving text among other things. At first I was not sure how to take the piece but after a short period of time I started to understand the piece. 


88 Constellations was another beautiful piece of literature that allowed the reader to explore using the 88 constellations in the sky. Each constellation took the reader to an audio clip that talked about a subject that was connected to the constellation or the constellation's name. Each audio clip was very interesting in the fact that it went into depth about subjects that most people would not talk about. Each constellation had its own unique idea and it drew the reader in from the start. 



Almost Goodbye was like those adventure books that allowed the reader to choose the ending and story line with given choices. In the beginning of the story the reader is given five choices between names on a list. The reader chooses the name and place, to which they then watch the scene unfold with may be another choice within the conversation. The reader chooses how they story ends and they can keep going to see different endings by choosing different options each time. I found it interesting, because the reader had the choices and could choose the story they wanted. 


My Body a Wunderkammer was slightly disturbing in an interesting way. The author took body parts of herself and wrote a story about each one. Each story pertained to the author's discovery of herself and how she came about with her conclusions. Some pieces were very graphic, but others had a sense of innocence that made the reader remember what it was like finding these things about themselves. I felt at times that the author was just a scientist trying to figure out her body on her own, but in a mad scientist type of schema. The story was long, but alluring in the way that the reader wanted to know everything. The reader could also choose any part part to start with and each story had hyperlinks that led to another body part, there were many to choose from throughout.This story is a recommendation in part, because it was so alluring in the first place. The author did a beautiful job on the piece, and it takes a special reader to understand.
