aug 6 1991 is an interactive CD-ROM in which users experience a poem from the “inside out,” by exploring a cyclic web of links between the images, sounds, symbols, and themes the poem evokes.

The “Browser” area allows users to playfully remix the raw elements from a given stanza of the poem--images, symbols, and pictographs.
Images and video from the locations described in the poem are used to provide users with a sense of context before reading a given stanza.
The “Pictograph” area combines graphics inspired by the poem’s symbols, media and text to create a pictographic representation of a line.
The appearance of the text is the final step in the cyclical navigation structure of the piece.
