What should I research? What should the work deal with?
A given series. Beyond the Snowpiercer-like, linear "moving forward": poststructuralism. Going out through the side door, escaping. There is not only one entrance.
Scrolling vertically is not everything. One must be able to go sideways too.
We must transform, affect and change the very object we are looking at.
Operation inside a new, higher dimension = the hyperlink. The hyperlink makes the transformation of the vertical series possible. (Upward, not northward.)
Finger skating: makes the continuous transformation of many parameters possible. A set of togglers, a set of sliders.
