Let’s call this entry part two of three. I’m a bit behind (behind what? just
\nmy own schedule), but I’m through the application chapters–the middle 140 pages
\nof B&G.  In the paragraph opening into the final section, "Self," B&G write
\nthat these middle chapters are applications of remediation as a process. 
\nIn their glossary, B&G define remediation this way:<\/p>\n

remediation<\/i> Defined by Paul Levenson as the "anthropotropic" process
\n by which new media technologies improve upon or remedy prior technologies. 
\n We define the term differently, using it to mean the formal logic by which new
\n media refashion prior media forms.  Along with immediacy and hypermediacy,
\n remediation is one of the three traits of our genealogy of new media. (273).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

B&G discuss remediation as this logics-guided process involved with a variety
\nof media throughout section two: computer games (88), digital photography (104), photorealistic
\ngraphics (114), digital art (132), film (146), virtual reality (160), mediated
\nspaces (168), the www (196), and ubiquitous computing (212).  In the final
\nsection, "Convergence," B&G offer an explanation for more various push-pull
\nrelationships among media.  Whereas remediation tends to describe a uni-directional
\nprocess of influence, convergences are akin to blends–multi-directional
\nshapings felt among media (where television flows into the www and the www flows
\ninto television).  Convergence rel. to remediation: a sloshing media
\nspillway, a complex subversion of remediation’s teleology.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The brief chapters in this section are useful as mini-histories for specific
\nmedia, and they are also instructive for the way they set up the tensions
\nbetween immediacy and hypermediacy, between realism and virtuality. 
\nHowever, because B&G’s project is now 6+ years in circulation, I wondered how
\nwell remediation–as a description of one medium transitioning into another–holds up. 
\nIt’s clear that remediation happens; it’s a valid description for the
\nderivation and diffusion of logics.  These logics, I suppose, draw together <\/p>\n

representation, technique, communication, instrumentation, and so on (this is an admittedly unruly list…wordwatchers,
\ngo on and ask what I mean by…it’s a little bit loose, crumby).  But
\nremediation depends on resemblances; what happens when simple two-resemblance
\ncomparisons (x into y) become (-1-) so common and persistent as to be
\ncommonplace (pass into ubiquity?) or (-2-) so freestyle-frenetic as to exceed the analogic formulae for one
\nmedia rolling pleasantly into another (breech the hyper, a hyper-<\/i>hyper)?<\/p>\n

Because remediation is processual, the short chapters on each medium also
\nbring up questions about processual orthodoxies.  Ever since looking at
\nSirc’s En. Comp as a Happening<\/i> this summer, I’ve been thinking about
\nmaterial and processual orthodoxies, esp. as reflected in composition (although
\nS. is more explicitly concerned with the material).  Such orthodoxies, artificially
\nconstructed as they
\nmay be, are useful even as plastic models good for introducing malleability to widespread practices (so
\nwidespread, I mean, as to be ingrained, rooted, reproduced smoothly and without
\nhesitation).  Remediation might simply point out the persistence of
\northodoxies; to say something is remediated is as much a testament to its being
\nconstituted by antecedent parts\/modes\/models as it is an acknowledgement that
\nchange is inevitable (though not always deterministic).  <\/p>\n

The application chapters include a number of small points worth following up
\non: links between hypermedia and insanity\/mania (154), digitality mocking
\nphotoreality (111), filmic games (98) and cinema of attractions–the public
\nelectrocution of an elephant (173).  I’ll also return to the section on
\nmediated spaces; it was interesting to read the stuff on Auge and non-spaces
\nfollowing Jenny’s talk on Friday about delocalization and a meta hodos<\/i> of
\ndocumentary.  More on that, I hope, in another entry sometime soon. 
\n(We just lost electricity, so I’m finished.)<\/p>\n

Terms: real as plenitude (119), vacillation (plate 8), digital art (133),
\nabsorption (147), Cinema of Attractions (155), fright\/exhilaration (161),
\npoint-of-view technologies (162), virtual reality (166), flaneur<\/i>
\n(174), shared replicability (177), channel (188), ricocheting remediations
\n(192), replicatory technology (201), augmented reality (215), telepresence
\n(214), flow (as organic metaphor) (223)<\/p>\n

Figures: Barthes and CL<\/i> (110), Walt Disney (171), Marc Auge (177),
\nHaraway, Anne Balsamo, Allucquere Rosanne Stone (182), Williams and McLuhan
\n(185), Baudrillard (194)<\/p>\n

"The process of digitizing the light that comes through the lens is no more
\nor less artificial than the chemical process of traditional photography" (110).
\n"Here as elsewhere, the logic of hypermediacy is to represent the desire for
\ntransparent immediacy by sublimating it, by turning it into a fascination with a
\nmedium" (122).
\n"Once it has been digitized, any image can undergo a while repertoire of
\ntransformations, which for our culture are regarded as distortions: rotation,
\nshearing, morphing, and filtering (139).
\n"Virtual reality is also the medium that best expresses the contemporary
\ndefinition of the self as a roving point of view" (161).
\n"If artificial intelligence in the 1950s and 1960s refashioned the computer from
\na mere adding machine into a processor of symbols, virtual reality is not
\nrefashioning the computer into a processor of perceptions" (162).
\n"The television broadcast protocols have until now offered the viewer much less
\nvisual information than a photograph or a film" (186). [Consider alongside
\nreal\/plenitude (119)]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
