Locus Novus

...is an animated website devoted to exploring the frontiers of electronic literature and online art. This brainchild of Faruk Ulay (who recently authored Beneath the Shadow of Perpetual Defeat and Terra Infirma) is truly a "synthesis of text and image/motion/sound."

LN's tiny bouncing blocks of color, an homage to Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie, "create a vital and pulsing rhythm, an optical vibration that jumps from intersection to intersection..."

And when you view the LN collaborations, literary endeavors take on a whole new dimension.
