Steve Cannon writes the following on ure.org:
"TEXT.URE synthesizes literary fiction, visual abstraction, and
user interaction. It uses a transcendent interface [Figure 1] to a
non-linear narrative and by encouraging users to explore the visual
space it mystifies and subverts the reading process. In the process
of investigating the interface, the user learns how to reveal their
version of the story."
[Figure 1] This is a page taken out of the TEXT.URE
narrative.

TEXT.URE is now on exhibit at SF MOMA.
