Because they foreground the visual-spatial extralinguistic signification systems which have always already been a part of print as a medium. Not every print text has these features, not every print text foregrounds the visibility and spatiality and temporality of print in these ways, but any work in print utilizes the visual, spatial, and temporal nature of the print medium to make meaning. In this way, these works merely highlight key but heretofore overlooked aspects of the medium of print. Why look at these texts?
