In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn't become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death.

Alan Seeger (22 June 1888 – 4 July 1916) was an American poet who fought and died in World War I during the Battle of the Somme serving in the French Foreign Legion. He is most well known for having authored the poem, I Have a Rendezvous with Death, a favorite of President John F. Kennedy.

While browsing the web you might come across blogs and pages like Twitter or Facebook that have rich media embedded. And while some things might catch your attention for the entire length of a video, others just do so for a couple of seconds.

In this demo I try to play with the volume in order to create a digital distance to the object that is still playing but not anymore in your area of attention.

What do you think?
