Word / image: convergence spaces

Abstract

In the context of communication the image has the function to illustrate the written text and this one to contextualize the image. However, the convergence spaces in which word and image are carried over to create the most amazing dialogues belong to the realm of the poetic. With the advent of photography, the development of graphic media and printing techniques, and more recently, with the new means of communication, these interfaces are multiplying. It operates hybridization of the medias. The borders are broken permanently, leaving the viewer adrift. While nothing is recognized, everything demands resignification.
