While I prefer google's autocorrection of "the medium is the massage," this phrase points out the inseparable relationship between a piece's form and effect and its medium of presentation. Not simply does the medium describe the vehicle for a piece's execution, but it imprints itself into the piece's message itself. In our field of new media, the medium needs a special attention, as it can be overly impressed on the meaning or interpretation of the piece (fancy technology that doesn't relay a message) or not considered whatsoever (presenting a sound only piece without consideration of the acoustic space). | While I prefer google's autocorrection of "the medium is the massage," this phrase points out the inseparable relationship between a piece's form and effect and its medium of presentation.

As with all art, context of a piece's presentation drastically impacts the end effect on a listener/observer/audience member. The classic combination of visual/audio presentation often results in a bleed between the senses, and trade attention between each other, each medium augmenting the other. When the visual and audible elements no longer relate, this serves to heighten the contrast between the two, should such a contrast be noticeable. In the case of geographic displacement of sound and images, each serves to heighten attention to the characteristic impression of the source location. | |||
Again, similarly to our geographically disembodied sound, sound whose timbre or quality differs from that of its source, in the case of bad audio in a hifi setting, or high sound quality from antiquated electronics, there seem many possible impressions, ranging from novelty, confusion, excitement. These are largely influenced by the intent of presenting contrasting visual and audible elements, and serves again to heighten the contrast between the two. | |||
