Andrews and the digital text

if anyone recognizes that new medium does not mean merely new mode of transmission, it is jim andrews. incorporating a sense of play as did bpnichol. incorporating the new cartography of digital space. incorporating the mutability of texts. but andrews points only, does not dive headlong. not that this is not more. definitely not less than others. but as with asteroids the game as with Seattle Drift there is only a toe quickly dipped. no bather yet, no fully submerged. no embracer truly, no gills grown. maybe because the internet is not local, as is the book. it has no existence immediately in physical in traditional sense. still look at the ripples generated, the intersexual intersections by andrews crossing that proverbial gymnasium dancefloor. dancing moves beyond the potential into the kinetic. and the potential extends yet further beyond.

glimpsed and adored.
