A smooth slice of full-motion video would have been less successful, both in that instance as well as in the case of the recurring motif of disembodied heads who roll their eyes, leer hither and thither, and twitch in depraved tics throughout the narrative. Petit and co-author John Nielson end up taking full advantage of the limitations of the medium to create something that is of the Web, not merely on the Web. So maybe we don't need more bandwidth. Perhaps more luxurious conditions are merely an invitation to laziness. Keep the conditions harsh - and watch the great art emerge.
