Kress argues that images are experienced in the way in which the viewer wants to experience them versus writing, the experience of which is dictated by the author. While this may be true of images (although I think in this case the context is crucial), what about video? He mentions recordings of image and sound near the end of the article, but doesn’t consider the way that any over-time image/sound also dictates how it is experienced.
In this clip we have the Little Einsteins navigating a work of visual art over time; motifs that appear in the art come to life and move around; the designs are paths that they follow. Would Kress say that this takes the power away from the viewer? Does it make a difference that the original artist did not animate their own work, but it was done by Disney?
