Landow writes in Hypertext 2.0, “[b]y changing a text’s spatial and temporal relation to other texts, electronic linking radically changes the experience of a text” (83). If we look at the actual bombing of Hiroshima as the “text,” we can understand that it is an abstract and unprecedented event, and so we can see that a typical chronicling of its conception, execution and aftermath is not going to convey to the reader the nuances that get lost in purely historical renderings and accounts. In merely performing the ritual of wars by detailing the minutia of battles and accompanying that minutia with overwhelmingly graphic photos, the event looses its resonance with the larger audience. In considering a site like that of GENSUIKIN’s, we can see that in effect-large amounts of undynamic text couple with overwhelmingly graphic photographs. The participant is overwhelmed and repulsed rather than drawn in and made to care about the bombings and their aftermaths.
