Michael Böhler goes a step further in his reading of the necessary working together of mouse and screen: he sees it as a transfer of the creating imagination onto the mouse-action-level, in other words, as an externalisation of the imaginary.
Böhler says:
»If regarded aesthetically hyperfiction is not so much a new literary textform as a new way of reading and a new text-reader-relationship. Here the place of the literary «theatre» is moved from the inner brains of mental processes into the outer room of interaction, where sensorial perception and haptic acts of selection take place.«
