Structure "Skin wraps body into a porous and breathing surface through which a variety of exchange takes place. It covers the face as well, but the communication skin participates in: touch, secretion, receptivity and sensitivity...remains the underside of human communication." (Tikka, Heidi. "Vision and Dominance - A Critical Look Into Interactive System," http://www.uiah.fi/bookshop/isea_proc/nextgen/j/10.html [Accessed 10 October 1999].)

Tikka seems to discount the face in this "critical look." But in new media, sight and sound are some of the most important features involved in the reading / writing / communicating process.
