The Challenges of Born-Digital Fiction: Editions, Translations, and Emulations: The Multimedia Accompaniment to the Print Edition

Experiencing the Streams in the 1994 Mac Edition and 2022 Web Edition of Victory Garden

 

 

 
 

In the video on the left, of the 1994 Edition of Victory Garden, a link labelled “Demo” is chosen from the North Garden section of "A Map of the Garden”––the trademark visual navigation tool custom made by the author. A sequence of lexias grouped under the label "Demo" is initiated by selecting the link. In the 2022 Edition, “Demo” and all nodes from the original map appear as Streams, a list of coherent thematic clusters that Moulthrop compares to chapters in a traditional book. Navigating the “Demo” sequence via the return key (default mode) in both the original and in the 2022 Edition produces the same sequence of lexias, unless a text link is chosen.
