Experiments in the rhetoric of visual summary

In the summer of 2010, Steve Ersinghaus convinced me to conduct an extended creative experiment in visual rhetoric: create one visual summary per day as long as possible. The project has been leading me to think more broadly about spatial hypertext-- beyond its role as personal information manager, toward a role in communication.

These were all done with Tinderbox and Emberlight.

Here are some examples from the project:

100 Summaries 2010 09 Biblical Poetry Reading 7 June 2010 Summary and The Craft of Research Perspective #2 Links Convey Meaning 18: summary of common arguments for and against drawing ethics from Jesus 22. "As We May Think" Panel Talk, ACM Hypertext 2010 15: 50 contemporary political ideologies PART ONE 26: the sequence of food sharing episodes recorded by Giza Teleki in the Gombe reserve during a day-long consumption of a captured colobus monkey (part one) 14: An Imperial Message PART ONE 25: The Perfect Moment 31: Summarizing Hauerwas on Yoder
