Art Is Long. . .
This article explores the negative stereotype of the witch. A particular emphasis is placed upon the potential of computer compositing for fusing image and text, experimenting with image metamorphosis and promoting visual illusion. This paper describes the creation of the hypermedia application A Simultaneous View of History, a compilation of sources related to the practice of visualization by European explorers in sixteenth-century Latin America. The overlapping layers of data that can be constructed through hypermedia design are compared to a palimpsest. Both the palimpsest and hypermedia can present a simultaneous view of different discourses.
