[...] Flowchart art involves lines of flow between pages, lexias, or, in the case of comics, panels. Common examples of flow include both multilinear plot branching and the arrangement of monolinear elements - as was previously discussed using examples of flowchart art in the work of Scott McCloud, Chris Ware, and Craig Robinson. After receiving some excellent suggestions of further examples, I have some thoughts on types of flow - including aleatory (random) flow, inaccessible (hidden) flow, and procedural (performed) flow. The examples are Scott McCloud (again) and his “The Story Machine,” Tym Godek’s “My Life with Pets”, Tragic Lad’s “Bunny and Cantelope,” and Jason Shiga’s “Meanwhile.” [...]

Before I continue, I???ll outline a few related concepts. Jeremy???s recent post about flowchart art explores the telling of stories through images that are displayed in a flowchart style. Many of the readers of this blog would be familiar with spatial hypertext works and software such as Eastgate???s Storyspace (see pic). You may also be familiar with what has become known as Freytag???s Triangle (see pic) and Brenda Laurel???s interactive extrapolation (Laurel, 1993). These are visual representations of the abstract structures of a story ??? how the drama should ???rise???. […]
