Features: The meaning space constructed by text and image is like the urban space in real life. We can either climb to the top of a skyscraper to overlook from above or wander through the streets and buildings below. This is the difference between the observer and the stroller. The stroller, on the other hand, is situated in the "lower" part of the space, and wandering is the basic form through which he experiences this space and its meaning. His body rises and falls with the thickness of the "text" of space and meaning, and at the same time, he is also writing this text.
