Reader Interview with Patrick Kutkey about Stuart Moulthrop's Victory Garden
Grigar interviews Kutkey about his experence reading Victory Garden. She begins by asking about Kutkey’s reading experience, how that experience compares to other forms of media such as books, social media, video games, etc. He discusses the graphic and technical leaps we have made in terms of screen size and pixel density. He and Grigar then begin talking about the non-linear experience of hypertext and how it effected his experience with the story. They also explore his choice to navigate by using the map instead of the hyperlinked words. Grigar asks Kutkey what percentage of the story he felt like he was able to reach in his 20-minute reading, and he laughs, responding 2%. Grigar asks if he could imagine what was happening in the unseen parts of the story, and Kutkey continues to discuss the confusion he felt trying to figure out what was happening and how the pieces connected. The two go on to talk about how the vintage hardware and screen resolution influenced the reading experience and address the content of the story, personal connections, and how the writing intrigued him to continue reading. Kutkey also notes how difficult the talk-aloud process during the reading was and the “interruption” of the experience. They concludes the interview by discussing the immersion of the experience.
