... Okay, but I love and slightly relate to your compulsion to create supervillains...

If you'll pardon my language, holy fuck, this is cool. I'm not sure that I'd describe what the reader's doing as "scrolling" so much as increasing and decreasing the magnification of what they're seeing (a verb I enjoy if only because it gives the lie to how little being "more precise" really gets us when it comes to some persons' disregard for others' lives; I think it also works well with one of the themes you mention in your artist statement -- all this research we do from the outside looking in really doesn't get us anywhere that helps people, half the time). Selfishly, I kind of want to see a longer piece in this vein with even greater sprawl.

Experimentation - 5, because this is truly a form of reading that you can't get in any other medium.

Interactivity - As you say, the reader's not doing much more than zooming in and out here, but I don't really mind it -- it feels genuinely exploratory, and I like how the mechanic permits you to control the pace of the piece. It kind of feels like time travel.

Polish - My poor computer had some trouble running this. It wasn't always easy for me to scroll smoothly between different "sections" of the piece, and it would jolt quite a bit between (what my computer at least perceived to be) distinct "sections." I'm not sure if this is just a problem with my hardware, though.

Poetry - Definitely a poem (5), but I felt like it had some pretty gamified aesthetics, which brings it a little closer (4) to the "game" (1) side for me.
