This chapter provides a context for understanding the influence of inter-media on the writing of Nicole Brossard. The article first gives a brief history of inter-media performance starting with performance work of the 1930s and 40s, including Automatiste Claude Gauvreau. The author goes on to discuss the contemporary installation and multimedia work of Vera Frenkel and Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. The key features the author notes in these works are their neo-baroque aesthetics and the logic of rebus puzzles they employ. In the writing of Brossard, similar traits are reflected in its holographic aesthetics where scenes in her novels are "propositions" of reality.
