Ursula Hentschlaeger / Zelko Wiener:

Webdramaturgie. Das audio-visuelle Gesamtereignis.

Webdramaturgy. The Audio-Visual Spectrum.

Markt+Technik: Munich 2002 (available in German only)

The book is a showcase of excellent graphics, with illustrations complementing language in much the same successful way as in Marshall McLuhan's publications. However, this time there is no gap between the worlds of images and the subject matter on hand (...). Hentschlaeger and Wiener are extremely good at making multi-mediality materialise on the pages of a book (albeit without sound and moving images). Still, their book makes it possible for us to not only enter this world but also to question the principles of artificial worlds as such and to engage with them interactively.

(...) Webdramatury. The integrated audio-visual Event is compressed brain food...

A book like a program with statements you would expect in a manifesto. (...).

www.amazon.de

(...). A combination of art, science and new technologies. Superbly crafted and inspiring in terms of language, content and design. (...). www.designbooks.net

(...) The art project zeitgenossen.com addresses all design-related aspects such as navigation, colour, sound, text etc., and what is more and special about it, these are directly retranslated into a context of communication theory, philosophy and art. (...).

www.buchhandel.de

(...) The last chapters are dedicated to the complete work, dealing with space / time, continuity and mise-en-scène. Navigation is a section in its own right, and both the book and zeitgenossen.com provide highly original and surprising approaches to it.

By way of conclusion, the authors posit six principles of web dramaturgy which everybody should consider. PC Magazin 9/2002
