88 CONSTELLATIONS FOR WITTGENSTEIN (TO BE PLAYED WITH THE LEFT HAND)

DAVID CLARK
"Lyrical and philosophical, this sprawling feature-length interactive film
for the internet contemplates the life and work of the influential Austrian
philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein through 88 interactive Flash animations,
each one corresponding to a constellation from the night sky. The viewer is
invited to navigate through a web of interconnecting narratives that move
from association to association - bringing Wittgenstein's work into
conversation with our contemporary digital culture. The work is an
interactive collage. It is story of a man's life told in fragments. It is a
map of coincidence and correspondences. It is a digital film. It is
story-telling as browsing.
David Clark is known for his website 'A is for Apple' that has been shown at
