Re-reading the News (2002) downloads the front page of newspapers as essentially raw data, enabling users to reformat it to their own specifications. The raw data appears in one browser window, reformatting occurs in a second. "Re-reading" sees the newspaper's format as a tendentious metaphor, an interface for controlling our responses. It interrupts this effort at control, offering the raw data out of which we can form our own patterns, placing us back at the center of confusion from which the desire for metaphor (and interface) springs. But, theory apart, it can serve the very practical function of allowing users to create a single interface--one daily newspaper--made up of news drawn from a variety of sources. The project makes extensive use of the W3C Document Object Model.
