It can be this, and it can be that. For me, those I like most are kind of an essence of an idea that lingers. I was also pleased to hear their reaction to flash being like a videogame. I don't believe flash is any more suited for readers with a short attention span than poetry. Might even be more suited for people who like to be left thinking about something. I think it's perfectly suited--like Rusty said--for writers who have only bursts of time, maybe a few hours at a stretch. I love it, myself, because it forces my ideas into themselves to somewhere around the heart of the matter. From there, who knows? Maybe that's where they feel best. But for those that don't, they can open up more seamlessly into whatever they turn out to be. Very interesting discussion--much more enlightening, I thought, than a definition aimed at pigeon-holing such a terrific artistic concept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-63475608797899915002007-12-09T17:21:00.000-05:002007-12-09T17:21:00.000-05:00Super interview!
