Why use Stranger Day’s 1995 analogy? all about virtual reality, the wire is transparent immediacy.
Transparent (not aware of the medium at all) Immediacy- experience as with as little interference from the medium, thinking of the actual content not the screen or projector (e.g. realistic movies, paintings with linear perspective, eBooks,
Hypermediacy- not designed to forget about medium, eat to be decorated (medieval manuscripts, desktop, websites, iPod, pop up commentary, abstract/ modern Art)
Remediation- giving a new life to something, repurposing, reforming, media-medium, taking a text from one medium and putting it into another. (books into movie or vice versa, live performance into video, virtual tours, song into music video, essay into speech, Everybody’s free (to wear sunscreen)- Baz Lurhmann, tattoos)
Remix- mixing things up with in the same medium usually thought of with music (Amy Worhall, collages)
Authorship- how does remix and remediation affect our sense of authorship? Directors versus writers: the director is doing something that the original writer couldn’t so it is his work, but the original idea of it is the authors. Nothing is really original anymore.
