Fragments of Distances

"With Jaka Železnikar's 'Fragments of Distances,' we see a short digital story that utilizes Google map API which is visually synthesized with photographic images and text. It is, as he tells us, 'a kind of a short story that explores transience of time and ways in which we form (and relate between) experiencing and remembering self [... it is] a detailed logical description of how we relate to our understanding of who we are and who we were, and how this might fit together.' The piece is the story of an encounter, and laid out like a linear narrative, but it reads, in some ways, like a poem, although distinctions between poem and story are increasingly irrelevant in the world of multimedia literature."-- From The New River Journal
