i made this website, reading, walking, as a final project for my history of writing class.
"...sentences are broken up into words, and up-to 16 consecutive words are shown each time. Each word is a portal into another body of text. We travel to the new textual space by clicking on a word, and our arrival is indicated by the change of scenery (new surrounding words). This is done by querying Wikipedia with the chosen word, finding sentences that contain it, and displaying those sentences (or parts of them) word by word, while keeping the chosen word in place. Clicking on the same word can produce different articles—there’s always some new place to go to. The link to the source article is always provided at the bottom of the page."
