Crossreads, non-linear reader

Very happy to announce a new project: Crossreads

Crossreads is about breaking linearity of narratives.

Firstly we segment a text or collection of texts into small pieces. Then we calculate several kinds of similarity among pieces. Finally, a web app allow crossreading of the original texts.

Those new created narratives (path through pieces of text) produce a different effect on brains reader that the usually expected by the autos in a traditional, linear reading.

Crossreads is presented today in the exhibition “THE LISTENING EYE

EUGENI BONET: SCREENS, PROJECTIONS, WRITINGS” at MACBA (Barcelona, Catalonia, EU)

Crossreas is an old idea of Jaume Nualart, developed with the help of Gabriela Ferraro on coding, from a proposal of  Sònia López, from MACBA
