On August 8, pioneering electronic literature artist, John McDaid, read through his hypermedia novel Uncle Buddy’s Phantom Funhouse. As part of the Pathfinders project, we captured his performance on video. This small clip of the longer video provides scholars with a complete inventory of the contents of the “black box” in which the work was packaged and distributed. We would like to thank our videographer Aaron Wintersong who did both the camera work and editing. The complete “traversal,” as we are calling these performances will be freely available later as a Scalar publication.

Read Pathfinders, the multimedia, open-source book published June 2015.
Visit our Vimeo Channel to see the many videos of the authors’ traversals and interviews.
Here are photos from the traversals that took place in ELL. A special thank you to WSUV’s MarComm Department for their support with the photography.
