Study of The Dancing Rhinoceri of Bangladesh

article by Yen Ooi

Yen reviews Dancing Rhinoceri of Bangladesh, an interactive poem by net 
artist Millie Niss, looking at the interface and reader experience, but 
also at the text itself, and the complexities of its reading, and at the 
source of its creation through technology. The Dancing Rhinoceri of 
Bangladesh, she says, is more than just a poem. As with all electronic 
literature, it requires more than just literacy to access, understand 
and appreciate. It is a piece of art, which carries in itself, cultural, 
historical, political and technological implications and meanings.

Millie Niss was known, first and foremost as a net artist. Her works 
tend to have interactive characteristics in them, with thought-provoking 
writing and the Dancing Rhinoceri of Bangladesh is exactly that, an 
interactive poem with a strong message.
