http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ - The Progressive
Dinner Party is a compilation of digital works written by women. Curators Carolyn Guertin
and Marjorie Coverley Luesebrink present it thus: In hypertext/hypermedia itself, the function of
linking creates paths through boundaries and, by establishing myriad juxtapositons, creates new,
pourous interfaces that mock boundary lines. Also, in the pieces we have selected the distinctions
between art, poetry, narrative, and criticism may fade or disappear."

CONNECT Project
This is an educational hypertext project funded by the European Union aimed at exploring
the different European cultures through collaborative writing. Groups of students from different
countries write a hypernovel about a train journey through Europe, creating a net of interlinked
