In Karin's hypertext we find an argument about visual art constructed largely through the use of images. Many of the textual elements of the hypertext are limited to brief assertions about relationships between pop art and women. These assertions function as verbal lenses that help configure (Drucker, 2002) the reader's interpretation of the visual elements of the hypertext essay. If the mouse-over in screenshot 4 added complexity to textual claims already on the page, the hover-effect in screenshot 6 leads the reader by creating incongruities. The hover effect is visual. Its placement alongside the text-based effect on the same image suggests that the two work together. Where the text claims that art is too complex to reduce to representations of sexual difference, however, the new image is not a clear illustration of that idea. Karin's hypertext eases this tension with an invitation (found in the image's caption) to explore more Hamilton by following a hyperlink on the image.
