1997 PrixArs Electronica Judges report:

 

In 1997 the site I had created, (http://student.uq.edu.au/~s271502) was highly commended in the Prix Ars Electronica in Austria, not only as advancing the genre of poetry but also representative of this newly emerging category of .net art.

 

Hypernarratives: the Web is full of interesting stories told with adroit use of the technology. However, many are linear and hence fail to make use of one of the net's greatest resources, the instant accessibility to anything in any order. Others don't work very well: either they are too top heavy and take too much time to download, hence interrupting the flow of the narrative structure, or they are too disjointed to allow a user to make sense of them. "Cyberpoetry"<Komninos Zervos> avoided such pitfalls and tells its many stories with exciting voice and choice alternatives.
