Interactive, digital art experiences are a bit like taking a poem, cutting it up, and putting the slices in different gift boxes of different sizes and shapes - or, more boringly, all the same size and shape. It could be wonderful. It could also not. It could feel pointless.

I don't know how else to put it. There's a "boxiness" to interactive art that has nothing to do with pixels. The piece works to the extent that you either love the boxes or you see right through them. If you aren't enthusiastic about the boxes or they're opaque, reading the poem fragments will probably be unsatisfying.
