"More than a boundary or a sealed border, the paratext is, rather, a threshold."

It is "a zone between text and off-text, a zone not only of transition but also of transaction: a privileged place of pragmatics and a strategy, of an influence on the public, an influence that ... is at the service of a better reception for the text and a more pertinent reading of it.”

"...a fringe of the printed text which in reality controls one's whole reading of the text".


–Mike Murawski, Portland Art Museum

“If the lights go out in the museum and all the WiFi hotspots and screens go dark, we might lose the physical technology infrastructure, but we do not lose the powerful participatory, networked, open

digital technology cannot simply fall away.”

“Man will see around the world. Persons and things of all kinds will be brought within focus of cameras connected electrically with

screens at opposite ends of circuits, thousands of miles at a span… The instrument bringing these distant scenes to the very doors of

people will be connected with a giant telephone apparatus transmitting each incidental sound in its appropriate place.”


“Wholly new forms of encyclopedias will appear, ready made with a mesh of associative trails running through them… There is a new profession of trail blazers, those who find delight in the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record.”

The promise of digital is this:

The promise of digital is this:

To provide means of sharing information and story telling which leverage the benefits of both orality and print in fluid physical and experiential modes.
