In an age of connectability, when streams of images are intertwined with an overflow of textual data, we find ourselves touching screens more and more often. New sets of relations between the body and the image/ word are being conjured parallel to changes brought to the act of reading by technological advent. Vision has already been conceived in analogy to the sense of touch (see Jonathan Crary's manuscript on visuality in the 18th and 19th centuries), furthermore, I argue, another dramatic shift is taking place these days in the bind between text and image. My lecture will problematize conceptions of the human body and the act of reading. Drawing on Johanna Drucker, I shall analyze possible structures of "electronic spaces” (e-space), attempting to facilitate an "interpretative activity" that goes beyond vision. Using examples from literature, visual art and technology I shall demonstrate the ways in which reading is becoming increasingly synesthetic
