This video clip starts off with Dene Grigar giving introductory comments prior to the live stream Traversal of Cramer’s In Small & Large Pieces. Grigar welcomes faculty member, Will Luers. She also notes that this event is supported by the fellowship Buchanan family. She continues to welcome her seven undergraduate researchers, associate director Nicholas Schiller, sound director John Barber, and live stream director Greg Philbrook, who all help with the live stream and in the lab. Luers starts off by showing the cover of the work before opening the work on the computer. He points out the picture of Alice in Wonderland with some handwritten text on it, which he clicks on. He starts reading through chapter one.

Traversal of Kathryn Cramer's "In Small & Large Pieces," Q&A, Part 2
A student from the online audience asks if the story was coming from a place of truth. Dene Grigar answers by saying she’s unsure, but usually authors don’t write about their lives. Grigar notes that she loves these types of events because of being able to read literature out loud, which makes the literature more powerful than if it were to be read alone. A student from the lab asks about analyzing the typography. Luers says that when the text gets big and bold, it reminds him of a cinematic title and calling attention to a single moment; whereas, the poem was smaller, denser, and lighter. He notes that the visual typography helps the reader to know what’s happening. A student from the live audience asks how one will create hypertext 25 years from now. Luers says he’s waiting for the software to connect with video.
