Aesthetic and rhetorical aspects of linking video in hypermedia

Abstract

This paper reports on the development of a hypermedia environment for public access in a museum. It discusses problems encountered when making video interactive and multilineal and when linking video and text in the creation of the system. Through the exchange of properties between print and vidtm, media approaches to linking and continuity are presented. Visual examples are used to illustrate this and related to the need to further develop aesthetic and rhetorical aspects of linking video in hypermedia.
