The first article I read and interacted with on the Vector on-line magazine was "The Virtual Window Interactive" by Anne Friedberg. It immediately reminded me of the Korsakow system we used in previous film classes or one of those create-a-scene on-line flash programs. The biggest difference with this piece however is that their are 4 different variables to control but everytime you pick one, different combinations of keywords float across the screen, allowing you to click on them and actually learn about the different apertures or screen sizes.
The second article I interacted with was "Malperception" by Perry Hoberman & Donald Hoffman. This interactive project proposed that visual disorders are just different perceptions that only few people have. The project also had visual demonstrations to go along with the disorders to help you understand the disorder and it's effects.
Concerning what type of media this is, I think both these articles run along the same lines that the Baghdad in No Particular Order did. It's this idea that instead of presenting information in a predetermined way with little to no involvement or interaction, you can allow the information to be available in a way that people want to see it presented. It's also the idea that by clicking something in a module you can learn more about it almost instantaneously giving you that instant satisfaction of seeing and learning about what only catches your eye or interests you.

Max -
This is a good start, the summaries here on the writing, er projects, read/encountered to the point, and the connection to the work in class helpful and illuminating.
But I'd like to hear more. In your final 'graph you do start to comment on your experience, but your comments are a bit general. Are the pieces you encountered that similar? What was your experience as an operator/navigator for each of them? Did you find them helpful, illuminating? What the instantaneity of the work the main feature, the feature most related to the topic for each? What was it about these two projects that encouraged you to comment on them?
Man, so many questions. Apologies to be bombarding, but I wanted to suggest the extent that I feel that you could start to take your thinking further. These comments on articles read should be a balance on the work read and the thoughts you have in response. This is a good start - I look forward to engaging with the work you described - but I look forward to hear more of you in the next blog.
