Thanks to the Wayback Machine, I have unearthed another collaborative hyperfiction.
8 is a spontaneous work of on-line interactive fiction. 8 is the brainchild of chris abraham. chris has been involved in online discourse and collaborative communication since 1993 and interested in hypertext and hyperfiction as a collaborative endeavor since being part of my name is scibe in 1994.
currently, the hyperfiction is in development. the site is being developed around the text, but will not be exclusive to it. originally, the text was itself titled coelab, but after securing the site space and the domain name, it became apparent to me that coelab is more of a way of doing, of being — essentially everything i want to be and to create.
as a result, i have changed the name of the work from coelab to 8 as eight is the number of the item in the meta network conference called artist which resulted in the interactive responses that you will see here.
although this work is spontaneous, it was very much facilitated. if you look at the dates of the responses, you will notice that this was an ebb and flow project. well over a year elapsed between the inception and its completion. the cessation of the exercise was completely arbitrary.
