MOUNT ANALOGUE

MOUNT ANALOGUE: Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing

My project is an online version of René Daumal's novel "Mount Analogue". By combining text from the novel, original video (from appropriated sources - a mix of music videos, cartoons, nature documentaries, etc.) and hyperlinks to tell the story, I am attempting to encourage detours, new directions and even possible dead-ends within the original text (appropriate, considering that "Mount Analogue" thematically deals with a group of mountaineers on an absurd quest for enlightenment, and that Daumal died before actually completing the novel). Currently, I have only been able to complete and upload a few pages (unfinished portions end in dead links - not intended as the "dead-ends" mentioned above).
