Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Traversal videos for Megan Heyward's "of day, of night."
An introductory trailer for Rebooting Electronic Literature plays in this video, followed by a brief introduction by Dene Grigar for Megan Heyward and her work, of day, of night. In this video, Megan Heyward provides a brief introduction to the piece. She explains that of day, of night was exhibited in 2001 though it wasn’t published by Eastgate until 2004. She compares it to her first work, I am a Singer, saying that they are both hypertextual interactive narratives. One of the main differences is that I am a Singer explores the concept of “memory”, whereas of day, of night examines “dreams.” Megan summarizes the latter as a story about a woman who has lost the capacity to dream, who must retrieve objects and write stories about the location she found them in. Though the work was built for MacOS9, Megan runs it in MacOSX for this Traversal. She created the work in Director, which many Australian artists had been experimenting with at the time. After the brief introduction, Megan Heyward begins navigating of day, of night.
