"As in a real plane, the simulated cockpit is full of dials to read and switches to flip. As in a real plane, immediacy of this experience is pure hypermediacy"Bolter and Grusin talks about how new media is trying to acheive immediacy and hypermediacy but it is not only new media that does it, old media can also achieve immediacy e.g a painting that ignores the medium. News websites try to put the same effect of being "live" like news channels by adopting similar styles on the site to hypermediate it.
"Our culture wants to multiply its media and to erase all traces of mediation: ideally, it wants to erase its media in the very act of multiplying them."Trying to create more media but with a hidden medium, this has got me thinking about how I can create something (on screen?) that interacts with people but the interaction would feel more like direct involvement with the content instead. I think this connects strongly to what Turkle talks about, how people live on the screen or in the screen.
Words that come to mind:
involvement, virtual reality, direct, seamless, interaction, interface-less, technology, content, media, website, old media, new media, surround, immediate, fake, drawn into
