The result: 'The Olin and Preston Institute.' Based on a campus map, the project is a series of prosescapes penned by ten different artists and then curated by Jason Nelson. As the interactor orients himself across the grid, he encounters pulsating nodes that reveal poems, fictional histories, anecdotes, absurdities, and images. The process of interaction with the map highlights the unique space defined by the community members that inhabit it, allowing outsiders an individualized purview of the campus." -- From The New River Journal C3 - Web PY - 2011 LA - English M3 - Locative, Multimedia, Web, Place-Based, Poetry UR - https://the-next.eliterature.org/works/2282/0/0/ DB - The NEXT Y2 - 2025-04-03 ER -
