Day Plan: 1. Presentation (15 min) 2. Hayles 3. YHChang //Discussion of how this minimalist / cinematic aesthetic works (or fails). Analyze the interplay between screen-space, words, visual pacing, and music. What would it be like to just the text from such a work?//

 * CAP || Liz Jacoby || Hayles: Chapter 3, The Body and the Machine || Jacoby, Elizabeth ||

4. Babel and Escha //Perhaps prefiguring the mashup, this "versus" piece involves collaboration and commentary on the banal in the urban. Perhaps the text plays a less significant role than in YHChang. Is it, nonetheless, aesthetically effective? Why or why not? (Let's temporarily set aside the question of whether it is literature as opposed to new media art etc.)//
