The term hypertext describes an electronic text composed of nodes (blocks of text) which may be linked together non-sequentially. The World Wide Web is an example of a limited hypertext. Here, each web page is a node, and links may be made to other pages, either at the same site or one on the other side of the globe. When the nodes contain elements of a literary work, hypertext becomes a site for artistic creation. It is instructive to define hypertext not by packaging or technological features, but rather by the experience of the author/reader. Hypertext provides for multiple authorship, a blurring of the author and reader functions, multiple reading paths, and extended works with diffuse boundaries. With the inclusion of sound, graphics, video, and other media as nodes, hypertext expands the world available to a writer. ---The Electronic Labyrinth

As technology advances, the hypertextual artist will have greater and greater ability to make fictional presentations to the sensory organs of the viewer/navigator. The web is continually growing and it cannot be regulated or stopped. Ways of connecting people are continually getting more transparent (technology funded by the porn industry). Not only are commersetitions and datatitions having access to this technology, but artists as well. As a painting is a fiction on a wall and a poem is a fiction on a page, the web is becoming a completely fictional environment available for artistic creation.
