The
Glide website went online in late 1998.
We did a conference
presentation of the work at the Connecticut College Art & Technology
conference in March, 1999.
In September, 1999, a
paper entitled Mazes and
Morphs: Modeling Meaning in Glide,a Non-Linear, Dynamic Visual Language
was delivered to the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages in Tokyo.
The website was part
of Riding the
Meridian’s Progressive Dinner Party, a collection of
“open-works.” On the web. It was reviewed by N. Katherine Hayles.
Since
then, we’ve been made aware that the Glide website is linked to many
college classes, both as an example of hypertext works, and for its
design.
In 2001, The Glide
website was covered in a New York Times article, Beyond
Hypertext: Novels With Interactive Animation
by Matthew Mirapaul. The article led to a lot of hits, and further web
news coverage in South America and Europe.
