Some of you may be familiar with Born Magazine. For those that aren't, it is an experimental online venue that seeks to marry literature to the visual arts.
Check out this prose poem from Born's latest issue written by Jason Ockert and animated by Matthias Dittrich linked below and give me some feedback on the proem itself and how the visual accompaniment helps/hinders the work.
Furthermore, how does the audience or if you will reader participation serve to enhance the emotion in the piece. The reader becomes one of the "fisherman" and an onlooker to the scene and is forced to act before all of the prose poem is revealed.
After finishing, read the prose proem in html format. How is the mood changed when it simply words upon the screen? Is the work successful as a standalone piece?
