The authors of Surface describe it as "a collaborative work that explores the ideas surrounding notions of textuality. It invites the question: 'How can readers interact with external entities, imbue them with life and then carry those things away (inside themselves) in new (inter)textual forms?'
This work toys with the signifiers traditionally used to describe reader/text transactions and while it moves away from forming any particular conclusions it does find several places of rest.
Surface intertexts with three poems written by Diane Caney. (These poems can be seen on Caney's web-site: over there.) Robin Petterd interacts with these poems, forming them into fragments. These written images evolve into multi-media frameworks that move, simulate thought, take on visuality and also disappear . . . ." -- from frAme, Issue 1, 1999
