Our relationship to the written word changes based on development of visual literacy and digital technology. They are also changing our ways of reading and recieving information. I designed a hybrid poem collection, that links together a printed publication and a digital website. With it, I combine discoveries from visual poetry, digital poetry, media theory and transmedia storytelling. The purpose of such design is not a mere comparison of printed and digital media, but to emphasise a hybrid life of the poems between the two. With attention to deep reading on both mediums, I establish a relationship between the two, how they cooperate or negate each other.
