ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to guide writers through a process of how to think and write about these new forms. It suggests architecture, navigation, interface, automation, design, data, structures, and patterns as key analytical modes. The chapter offers a writing system: use the 90/10 workflow, immerse deeply, handwrite notes, specify, research context and compare, interpret significance, make connections, outline by word count, read out loud, revise, and copyedit. Access to the internet changed how we communicate, find information, and access and exhibit media. Architecture refers to how projects organize open or closed pathways with user-generated or designed content through their systems. Digital and interactive media involve tactile engagement with hardware or embodied experiences with mobile or wearable devices. Data are images, numbers, texts, or videos organized in databases. Selecting data allows users to produce knowledge by comparing or sequencing. Many projects do not make deductive arguments.
