William Poundstone’s “Project for Tachistoscope (Bottomless Pit)” is a great example of technotext. Single words are flashed to readers in a subliminal way with pictures depicting the words behind them. According to the site, “Poundstone's project also opens a quiet assault of, and perhaps on, icons. Engineered to make subliminal statements and incorporating effective sound, this piece also makes the reader highly conscious of how texts and images are read together and how a reader's attention is parceled out in time-based media.” The words keep coming at you and looping back around to start over again in a different place.
