Weekend Ed. Quote ~ November 15
This week’s Weekend Ed. Quote features a quote about New Media
Although each medium promises to reform its predecessors by offering a more immediate or authentic experience, the promise of reform inevitably leads us to become aware of the new medium as a medium. Thus, immediacy leads to hypermediacy, the process of remediation makes us aware that all media are at one level a “play of signs,” … New digital media are not external agents that come to disrupt an unsuspecting culture. They emerge from within cultural contexts, and they refashion older media, which are embedded in the same or similar contexts (Bolter & Grusin, 2000).
