Exactly. >From a piece I wrote on the video iPod: "[The video iPod's] interest lies in its capacity for qualitatively changing the way we experience established types of audiovisual material . . . not in its capacity for generating or accommodating new ones . . . [. . .] How do variables in the environment surrounding a work-—the manifold fluctuations of real life, the speed at which we and our screens move through the world, the smoothness or jerkiness of our movements—-affect, again, our relationship with that work? How would my relationship with an episode of 'Rocketboom' change if I were to watch it while skydiving? [. . .] As far as I'm concerned, the video iPod has almost nothing to do with the development of new media forms, and almost everything to do with the continued disembodiment, relocation, and reinterpretation of the established hardcopy ones of film, video, and television." The whole thing is available here: http://braintrustdv.com/roundtables/ipod.html#Anchor-34275 As far as I'm concerned, the medium is at least partly the message, and in this day and age--where content is a substance that flows freely between mediums--its important that we take note of how medium influences meaning, form and our experience of both. ------------------------ Yahoo!
