Text As Images Team Mystery

Text as images are the relationship between words and images. Text people and image people have tension believe them though. Text people command the moral high ground as custodians of the printed word. Visual types argue that a picture is worth a thousand words. This war is as old as the war between man and woman. It started in Italy with Italian futurist Flippo Marinetti. He used words on a page as ammunition to fuel a "visual battlefield."  With his futurist manifesto he started a tradition among antiestablishment artists. This method is still used today. Bob Dylan was a pioneer for this genre in he video "Subterranean Homesick Blues" because of the screenshot of him holding up a poster that said "Suckcess."These images are now commonplace.
