Autocento of the breakfast table

Brief Description

Autocento of the breakfast table is my Master’s thesis, an inter/hypertextual exploration of the workings of inspiration, revision, and obsession. I’ve compiled this work over multiple years, and recently linked it all together to form a (hopefully) more cohesive whole. To make this easier than collating everything by hand, I’ve relied on a process that leverages open-source technologies to publish my work onto a web platform.

Things to notice

Take a look around the site. See how it’s navigable: there are links within each article to other articles and to the wider web, mapping common images, themes, or inspirations; there’s also navigation links at the bottom of each page:

• The φ shows you the backlinks to each page.
• The ◊ takes you back to the cover of the project, to start over.
• The ∝ takes you to a random article in the project.
• Some pages also have previous and next links. These take you to other articles in their original project-order. It’s another way to navigate the page.
