Very interesting idea. But I wonder about the relationship between the content (atomic bombings) and the form (quickly swapping text fragments, which could imply that the exact words were not so important). Can you explain your thinking on how they integrate?

Daniel Howe

The content of the piece is about a significant historical event that has been undoubtedly talked about by a huge number of people. Yet through swapping the text, I would like to create a contrary feeling to the audience, that these two people seem to be talking about very casual and daily things, something that they don't really care about at all.

Also, I feel that the message and emotion delivered by the entire collection of words matter more than the meaning of the single words. So switching between the words (hopefully) gives the audience a better view of the whole collection, which is apparently describing an important and disastrous event, but the tone of the two and the quickly swapping just make the whole thing seemed so random.

Honestly, I feel that the ideas I mentioned above were actually without a lot of thinking. I just feel like doing in that way. But your question made me think about the motivation behind. Thanks for the comment and question!

The best works of digital writing have a meaningful connection between the form and the content (but this can be hard to find...)
