... I forgot it might be useful to explain my ratings.

Experimentation - I gave this 4 stars simply because I've read works with disappearing/reappearing text before that deal with themes of forgetting and memory. I see it done in a way that makes loads of sense here, but I wonder if you could have subverted how tight the form/content connection is in this piece and if that would have (paradoxically) strengthened what you were trying to get your reader to feel/experience. Very much spitballing with this comment, but I hope it inspires something.

Interactivity - The poem's flow is entirely a function of the way the reader moves her cursor. Solid 5 in my book. 

Polish - So clean and pretty. Is there some way you could have hyperlinked the sculpture within the zine itself? I felt it added something important, but not all your readers may find it in the piece's description (due to not reading, not clicking out, etc.).

Poetry - On a sliding scale of game (1) to poetry (5), this is definitely poetry.

what a thoughtful set of replies! i am, perhaps unfortunately, a bit of a formalist, so a tight relationship between form & content is something i prize quite a bit. however, i will consider the use of a looser connection next time i sit down to make a hyperpoem, maybe i'll even drop you a line to hear more about your thoughts on the matter.

thank you so much, i'm looking forward to playing with your submission early this week.
