The second layout in Karin's hypertext relies on transparency to provide the reader a more conventional, text-based argument. Nodes with a layout modeled on screenshot 5 replace the centrally located digital image with paragraph-length text. Elements of the navigation graphic to the left of the hypertext are enlarged and appear to the right of the text.
This second layout swaps the placement of text and image, effectively preserving the overall spatial arrangement while providing an alternative (and more conventional) presentation of the argument. Of course, these two layouts are not mutually exclusive. In-text navigation invites the reader to shift from a more textual to a largely visual presentation. The ways in which Karin's hypertext structures hyperlinks within and between these two layouts provides the reader with considerable autonomy in navigation while retaining significant control over the viable paths. In this sense Karin's project represents one version of a multilinear academic hypertext. Karin | a logic of space | argument via images | instant thesis
