Aphasiasms

Aphasiasms is "[a] series of dix multimedia texts produced with Photoshop, 3D Studio MAX 1.2, 3D Studio R4, and other tools exhibited and later collected for frAme, issue 1. As the author states, the works reflect 'media metaphors for contemporary trends in philosophical and sociological thought' that show that 'multimedia culture can no longer be confined to text, but now is in the form of graphics, sound, and video, often in simultaneous configurations.'" -- from ELMCIP
