Readings:
The first text is really short but the main focus is on Noah Wadrip-Fruin's work including writings. I own the book the New Media Reader but I had not noticed before that he had edited a few of them and collaborated on others. A few of the links on the text were disfunctional, though I was able to see his piece called "Taking Cure" which is really a compelling work with enthralling visuals. Noah seems to have futuristic yet aesthetic view of the digital/new media world in his few writings.
The second link posted shows two of Noah's works. I would love to try out his piece called "Screen" since the user is almost inside the text itself. Interactive text along with a virtual world creates an even more fascinating experience for the users.
Following these works by Noah is Utterback and Archituv's piece called "Text Rain". It is a very serene interactive piece using text that falls on whatever is in front of the screen. It employs a different interaction in comparison to Noah's work because the text falls rather than already being placed on the screen(s). I find this interactive typography to be quite beautiful and really simple visually but works conceptually.
Interactive Typography : this website is an interesting and interactive way of learning about typographies.
I stumbled across this piece and found it really beautiful both visually and with the motion. The way is moves with the person interacting is almost flawless. Very creative interactions.
