I came across Brautigan’s story on Flickr. It made me think right away of Chad VanGaalen’s beautiful song. Begging your pardon as I channel my inner teaching assistant: What do you make of this juxtaposition? Different crafts and media, both discovered and shared on the internet, both hewn here in bits of data and binary code. Are these pieces complimentary or contrary? Which one speaks to you more? Is one enriched by its presentation with the other? Are both? I should point out that the video was made by a fan. The scan of Brautigan’s story was, too.
