Jonathan Rosenbaum on Hyperkino as a form of nonlinear film criticism

"The Mosaic Approach. In defense of a nonlinear film criticism"

posted August 18, 2010, in the journal Moving Image Source, Museum of the Moving Image, N.Y.

"The fact that these commentaries belong to a hybrid form—existing somewhere between reading and watching, like various computer-related activities—is part of what seems forward-looking about them […] What all these forms of criticism suggest is not merely a less linear way of approaching film experience but also a more interactive methodology. The fact that movies are being seen more and more often away from public theaters shouldn't necessarily mean that the way we all experience them and share our experiences is any less social. Perhaps it's more pertinent to note that the very forms of our social interactions in relation to films are changing as well."
