STORYLINES

2024 · code, text, image

Narrative becomes spatial when moments, causes, characters, and themes are organized by relation rather than chapter order.

Source texts are converted into readable nodes and explicit edges, with connection strength influencing proximity in the field. A visitor can move from an overview to a single moment, trace a causal chain, or inspect a thematic cluster without losing the larger structure. The project demonstrates how spatial navigation can reveal nonlinear narrative architecture, while its next documentation step is a concise recording that shows a real corpus and discovery path.

Cinematic Rail Type: 8-card secondary proof rail
Interaction: overview, node inspection, causal path, and thematic cluster
