And a new way of thinking as well, although it came from the writers as
much as the visual artists (moreso, I'd say). That by combining disparate
elements you can create a hybred that is not only about the different
elements and how they interact, but also speaks to the viewers internal
process of intergrating seemingly disparate images (a chile pepper with
dragonfly wings, for instance).

I look forward to it.
I'm about 3 days behind in reading my mail right now, but I'm sluggin' my
way through it. Why do you people all have to have such good ideas! It'd
be much easier to get through my mail if I could just dismiss what you all
have to say! :)
