“The open nature of the web as medium […] means that web sites never have to be complete; and they rarely are. The sites always grow. […] All this further contributes to the anti-narrative logic of the web. If new elements are being added over time, the result is a collection, not a story. Indeed, how can one keep a coherent narrative or any other development trajectory through the material if it keeps changing?”
—Lev Manovich, “Database as symbolic form”, Convergence 5(2):80-99
