Points of Departure and Connections: Theme, Spatiotaxis and Intersemiotic Connection

Let’s imagine visiting an art museum which only had one gallery, and this gallery had only one exhibit. While we might think it somewhat strange, all of us would probably interact with the exhibit. But if the same gallery had two artworks, we would have to make a choice in what to interact with first. The curator may have placed one artwork at the entrance and one deeper inside the gallery, so we might interact with them in the order they had been presented. But we don’t have to.
