Until recently it seemed that a word and an image are in discord. A text and a visual representation were regarded as two competing channels of information and they have been described as antagonistic rivals or two forces unable to co-exist. One of them (and it is easy to guess which one) was to be condemned to total destruction. Even the cautious optimists predicted that the excess of images will push the Gutenberg Galaxy into depths of social oblivion. Meanwhile, things became complicated in a very interesting way, as it is shown by the authors of the recent issue of "MOCAK Forum".
