Synne Skjulstad and Andrew Morrison have an article out in the latest issue of Computers and Composition (Vol. 2, No 24, 2005). Called Movement in the interface, the article argues that interface design needs to be given greater attention in the light of the emergence of dynamic and single environment screen spaces. Movement within and through these interfaces, often authored in the software Flash from Macromedia, is realised through designing relations between media types, content and underlying information architecures and systems. One of InterMedia’s experimental design and educational projects into dance and technology is presented via the case of its online mediation in the BallectroWeb. The article presents discusses the design of the interface for this web and the articulation of multimodal discourse related to different perspectives in the project and on the part of users. Characteristics of dynamic interfaces are presented in closing.
