``Not only can we use computer methods to study traditional, albeit digitized, objects, but we also find that new objects of study are entering the humanities field. The medium affects the message. Multimedia and hypermedia represent the convergence of several media into a new whole which is more than the sum of its parts. Creations in the new digital media cannot easily be studied as if they were traditional literature plus traditional music plus traditional art, etc. An adaptation and integration of our old rhetoric and iconic theories is badly needed to study creative and cultural expressions using new technologies, such as computer games, non-linear hyperliterature, computer music, and various new hybrid artforms including interactive sculptures even bio-electronics.''
