Structure of the Interview
Materials
Readers viewing the video clips and reading the accompanying written
text will notice that I have edited the latter slightly. This
action was taken in order to translate the oral portion of the
video into a form better suited for the print component of this
web page—a strategy
that, I hope, provides a smooth reading experience. Additionally,
because the video serves as the structure for the interview, the
email dialogue that took place between us is linked hypertextually
where appropriate. I have also contextualized some of the elements
of the interview in hyperlinks. For example, I provide an overview
of both The Glide Project and The Maze Game so that
readers unfamiliar with Slattery's work can engage more fully
in the conversation we had about them. It is easy to differentiate
this information from Slattery's comments because the former appears
in red text while the latter, in green.
Presentation of the Video Clips
The video clips are a product of heavy editing. Over two hours
of video have been whittled into thirteen clips amounting to less
than eighteen minutes. None of these clips are longer than two
minutes so that viewers can easily download them. I have opted
to include them with the written record because one gets a better
sense of Slattery's energy and spirit in a way that any print
description I produce cannot. Readers can access these videos
from the link located beneath her photograph. The length of each
video is provided in order to provide an idea of the download
times. The time, of course, will vary depending on the type of
connection readers have.
