Brandon -- You may be right -- one of the challenges of writing this thing is that we need to think both in terms of an overall story (narrative) and of the individual pieces in isolation, and we hope that the stickers function in both contexts. I'm not sure about the idea of the narrative questioning its presentation space -- it's more the reader's job to do that -- and the job of the participant-reader who's putting up the sticker to make an aesthetic decision in that regard. On the other hand, I guess I do think that certain works of fiction, such as Calvino's If on a Winter Night a traveller, have a done a great job of questioning the presentation space.

I am not sure if you can say that it is the reader's job to pull the space together - isn't this exactly the challenge of writing?

I guess what I'm suggesting is that most experimentations in narrative question the narrative space. Although some narratives do question their presentation enviroments, that tends to be two covers and several hundred pages. Narrative works that exhaust that printed medium, such a Tom Phillips's _A Humument_ really are more lyric than narrative--although there is an interesting play there between the narrative of the book and the narrative of the epic.

I agree with Elin about responsibility, at least within the confines of the book. I'll be as interested to see how narrative fares on the streetscape as I am to see how it fares in the digitalscape.

On the opposite (perhaps?) side of the spectrum from Phillips's _A Humument_ (if Phillip might be the 'lyric side'), we might find Danielewski's _House of Leaves_, which has several narratives than actually challenge the space of a variety of media: the book is the most obvious in terms of physical form, but there's also architecture, film, and still photography.

I actually meant that it's the reader's job to pull the space together in Implementation specifically -- in that the reader (or one kind of reader) decides where to put stickers. So they make an explicit decision about the presentation space. The narrative could I guess question the space of the sticker, but it's up to the sticker-layer to establish a larger context for each fragment in its individual space. If that makes any sense.
