View source for 10 Poemes en 4 Dimensions

10 POEMS IN 4 DIMENSIONS was created on and for PC, with Internet Explorer.

Its starting point is a Platonic dialogue, "The Cratylus," in which Socrates debates with Cratylus and Hermogenes on the origin of names.

Do they, as suggested by Cratylus, form the essence of things? Or are they, as suggested Hermogenes, pure convention?

By combining text, graphics and animation, writing in HTML can address this debate, and bring to it if not elements, at least echoes.

Clicking on the left side of the banner shows a navigation bar. Double-click makes it disappear. A click on the right side of the banner is advancing to the next page.

At the top left of each page, another link is proposed, which gives another different reading.

In general, this set is discovered with the eyes and hands. Click and doubleclick anywhere on the page where a link appears: Each page holds many surprises.

Reading is an exploration.
