Networked Writing!!

 Networked writing, to me, was based on many modern ideas in the digital world. The internet is a collaboration to tell stories and spans across different networks. The use of networked writing is infinite, as there are so many different individuals working on it, and it is more focused on the process of it. Rettberg is referring to the artist's realm of producing materials and creative design. Chapter six, "Networked Writing," by Scott Rettberg, discusses the idea of art intertwining with hypertext and digital literature elements. Covering the idea that interactive fiction and the art that is combined within dates back to the 70s and 80s. 

The Unknown by Rettberg & Co, was a piece that I thought was well put together, and though very text-heavy, using a lot of hyperlinks, it stands true as an important collaboration piece. It felt overwhelming at first glance, and as I continued through the piece, I felt like I was getting lost in this seemingly never-ending maze. 

Flight Paths by Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph was definitely my favorite piece to look at this week, as it was a collaboration that included many visuals, details, and just a strong use of art and poetry. There were so many different areas to look at, especially having the option of which flight path the reader wants to take at the start. Having many participants on this piece showed the networked writing and collaboration that we read this week.
