Hypertext syntagmas: cinematic narration with links
one shot

If, as Metz has argued, a film can consist of one shot, and if, as I've argued, there is an isomorphic equivalence between the shot and the node in link node hypertext, then is it possible for a hypertext to only consist of a single node? In some ways I'd suggest this is one of the theme's informing Jim Rosenberg's poetics (see for instance Intergrams), with its layerings within what is essentially a single nodal space. However, in Rosenberg's case, the presence of a relational series that needs to be performed in some manner is retained.
