Before Leona and Robert formed the project group they already had lively conversations on the possibilities of audible literature compared to the potential of written or printed instances. There was also a great deal of talk about sound-engineering, too, which they considered to be a necessary discipline to achieve convincing results in "writing" and "wreading" sonic literature. But the most intriguing discourse emerged on the concepts of "depth" and "contour".

Guido Grigat’s 23:40 – das kollektive Gedächtnis (“23: 40 – The Collective Memory”) is a prime example of Second Generation Hypermedia in that it takes advantage of the Internet’s communicative possibilities. It is a prototypical collaborative hypertext in that it gives full authorship to its ‘wreaders’, who may post their contributions directly to the website. Their lexias subsequently appear as part of an ever-changing hypertext clock, which changes its lexias every minute, displaying the contribution which has been appointed to that particular time.
