It uses the flexibility and language of the internet to offer the viewer choice in how he or she progresses through the sequence of webpages I\u2019ve arranged. As a user travels through this branching narrative structure he or she must navigate dead ends, reroutes, and intersections of the overarching storyline, thus implicating the viewer as partial creator of his or her own experience.<\/p>\n<table class=\" alignleft\" style=\"background-color: #f2e7c9;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>On the eleventh of August I moved into a new house. That night, while sitting on the porch watching the moon through a crawling veil of clouds, I noticed a person standing in a window across the way. It was hard to tell by moonlight, but I felt he was looking at me.<\/p>\n<p>Psychic staring effect is a phenomenon in which humans detect being watched by extrasensory means. It is usually indicated by a tingling feeling on the back of the neck &#8211; I felt it then. I watched as he lingered in the window motionless, as was I.<\/p>\n<p>The clouds kept crawling until the sky was empty, and in a moment he disappeared into the deep blue of what I imagine to be his bedroom. I returned to the sky, though I kept his window in the corner of my eye, and at one point, when the moon had slipped out of sight and the only light was that of the man\u2019s room, I began to wonder what glowed on the other side of the wall.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/johndalterio.com\/Hyperbola-Blue\" target=\"_blank\">Link to Hyperbola Blue<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hyperbola Blue Video Tour<br \/>\n<\/strong>(10:52 minute silent video)<br \/>\nThis video walks the viewer through the navigation of <strong>Hyperbola Blue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/157995572\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Return to Theme Table of Content John Dalterio is an American photo, video, and installation artist based in Boston, Massachusetts.
