Important Features of the Piece
  • Audio 
  • Visual 
  • Narrative Content 

Things to address
  • Genre 
  • Interactivity

The interactivity is in the ability of the reader/viewer to withstand the at times disorienting effect of the text moving at the speed of the drums. It is written like a slam poem, with each frame indicating a line of poetry. At times the speed of the frames go at a rate that is indecipherable. It is up to the reader to be able to keep up with what is happening in the narrative despite these "turbo moments," which can be interpreted as showing the speaker of the work being filled with energy and speaking so quickly he cannot be understood. 

It would force an invested reader-viewer to re-watch it and that is how it is interactive, in how much time the reader/viewer has to spend with it in order to understand it. 

Genre is text that functions based off of the pace of the drums. In this way the music functions as a code. 

 Audio is the music by Art Blakey and the visual comes from the text thats movement is dictated by the music.
