Analyze and compare the readings to find their pattern, to see what features they manifest that when taken together constitute a set of instructions for writing the experiment. After compling this set of instructions, attempt to apply them to your object of study. In so doing, you will be working with a "logic" of association (metaphorically, if you will); that is, you will be looking for correspondences, no matter how strange, between the poems, you, and your object of study. To this end, you should look particulary at subject-object relationships in the poems that can be used to elucidate the relationship between you and your object of study.

You will design and perform your project in a format that follows the same logic of association you will find operating in the poems. Hypertext links should become locations where different discourses and ideologies are set in motion. You will want to organize the hybrid medium of the Web, not as a synthesis, but as "shuttling" (a metaphor implying a woven text) between multiple discursive positions and modes of subjectivity. Try to take advantage of the associative logic of the link to unbind your discourse, to produce a subjectivity that recognizes itself as an emanation, a spectre of the ideological forces acting on it.

We want to emphasize that this is an experiment. One goal of the experiment is to learn how to replace argumentation with mood as a way to guide research. One motive for this shift is to leave a place for the reader in the construction of the text. If there are any arguments to be made, the reader of the experiment, not the composer, supplies them. You should feel free, therefore, to employ a fragmentary style, use images, write about yourself, and break most of the other rules of research paper writing (you will, however, document your sources). You should also include explanations of how and why one might want to conduct research in this fashion: what is revealed in the experiment that would not be revealed in ordinary research writing?
