3/25 p2
what would be seen — an image of a page with links etc on top of it —
the page as background — i like that concept — the content of the page is fixed
1) make web pages and see what the pdf pages look like
2) start putting background images into indesign files
(should i try photoshop — using that the background of the text could be transparent —
each page will have to be a separate file — which would be the case with any web based version
on Burroughs — i read through the first trilogy and enjoyed it but not as much as i have in the past —
was noting flaws as i went along — i couldn’t get into naked lunch —
i started cities of the red night but couldn’t keep reading —
i thought i’d never tire of burroughs but i’m noting a naiveté or something —
a lot of corn — the ‘boys’ — some fantastic lines but i’m not into that now
started topology of a phantom city which i’m liking more — i think it’s time for a rereading of robbe-grillet —
(this note put into the sept 96 notes — topology ... brings back memories
that i’ve written about somewhere else in the notes from when i first read it)
i started looking at photos — keywording — i haven’t looked to see what’s left of the data base —
i also need to look at the book & quotes databases
<notes and drawings for web things — scan or leave out>
i need new text — write about collections —
pick subjects while going through the notes
TEXT WOULD BE PHOTOSHOPPED SO THE GRID MOSTLY WOULDN’T MATTER —
the spa fizzes — little areas of bubbles in the sun — could they be videod
