Phew. Busy couple of weeks. But I’m finally getting to the stage where I’ve had some time to get writing again.
Anyway for kicks I’m posting up my very first experiments with a new piece of work. The texts use fixed backgrounds and absolutely positioned divs using CSS to give the illusion, when scrolling, of the text, rather than the user’s position on the page, moving. It works best using smooth scrolling (Safari seems to work best for now but that’s something I’ll probably have to work on). It’s already engaging with space in relation to interactivity and with attempting to create some kind of interesting reading strategy. I need to work it out – but the basic material concept is there, and I think I’m onto something. And for me it’s the first exciting start in a while…
Check the idea out if you like:
also: these are really great.
