“For the Nahuatl-speaking Mexica (whom we have come to know as Aztec) the boundary of text and image was artificial. They wrote in highly pictographic ways, providing specifics of when, where, who in text, and specifics of action through images. Similarly in hypermedia as I have said elsewhere the image again takes its place within the system of text, the word again takes its place within the universe of the visible and the sensual.”

Convergence encountered today of archeology news story, poetic critical text and the hypertext work Sister Stories.
