Slog
Nick Montfort
Slog is a delirious too-rapid wandering through a famous novel, in the original Norwegian and in its first English translation, as done by the author’s lover. Reload for a different arrangement of the six points of rapid serial visualization of the text; when satisfied with an arrangement, let the piece run and let your gaze wander among the streams of language.
