Media actively shape what we feel, see, and understand by serving as…

- - - - In order for something to be considered meaningful, the medium has to hide the process that made it possible
      - Do mediums mediate most powerfully when they seem to disappear?
        
        4DX cinema - SO immersive that you kinda forget you're just in a theater. But doesn't this mean the 4DX is the new medium here, taking the standard theater's place with extra, immersive effects?
        
        remediation (?)
- - - - what's she looking at? is it a bus incoming? is she just staring off into the distance?
  - - - You will never get the full picture
        
        But at the same time, it has the privilege of being able to date history in a special way that other forms of representation, like paintings and text, can’t do.
  - - - Pollock stands on the other side of the same coin

        We look at Pollock's work and think more about what went into the painting than the qualities of the painting itself. We become more critical of each specific, unique aspect of the artwork and its creation in the context of Jackson Pollock's artistry
  - - - in this photo exists a "box". civil war photoraphers included/excluded certain things to position the subject a certain way
- - - - Once writing (among other media) enters mass circulation, it loses its autonomy
        
        “Pitilessly”: Are the economic interests just a black hole that suck the life out of art?
        
        This basquiat shirt is a perfect example to me. Though Benjamin discusses script in this excerpt, his ideas apply to painting as well. Under this framework, does this affect Basquiat’s legacy?
        
        We can also argue that art loses its “purity” as argued by Greenberg.
        
        “The task of self-criticism became to eliminate from the specific effects of each art any and every effect that might conceivably be borrowed from or by the medium of any other art. Thus would each art be rendered "pure," and in its "purity" find the guarantee of its standards of quality as well as of its independence.” (Greenberg 86)

  - - - Does this mean that the high volume of circulating media trains your eyes away from slower forms of reading?
  - - - The MCU is so successful because it maintains its power by going the safe route instead of the risky one
- - - - His preference of long takes over montage serves as an argument as to how realism supports indexicality
  - - - Tv is more powerful, however, because what else can you do for the “that-has-been” other than take it as truth?
  - - - The feeling of live, unmediated reality that tv produces for audiences isn’t as transparent as many may think. It’s actually the opposite. BECAUSE its live, its heavily mediated. There is much more critical attention to detail when it comes to selection, editing, framing, commercial breaks, and everything in between
        
        But because it’s live, it feels close to reality
        
        “For Marshall McLuhan the medium is the message, the channel being so dominant that it overwhelms any specific 'content' it might carry” (Peters 268)
        
        The fact that something appears live, let alone on TV, gives it a level of credibility that the same info delivered verbally or written would not have. Both the medium and the one controlling it influence perception of what is deemed to be true

        The televisual framing of catastrophe contains just as much as it reveals. It produces a version of reality organized around the emotional logic of TV rather than the complexity of actual events
- - - - “Rhyme is more obvious than meter. It’s louder. It draws attention to itself.” (BaileyShea 83)
        
        Phoneme repetition is unavoidable, as language always repeats sounds
        
        Does this apply to producer tags that easily distinguish a producer?

        Pharell producer tag on Drop it Like It’s Hot - the quadruple phoneme is so recognizable, you just know it’s a pharell song and it impacts how you perceive the rest of the song
- - - - You will not forget about the movie or its successors because you have memorabilia to remind you how much you enjoyed it
        
        Kpop album polaroid collections
        
        When you buy an album from a band they send a signed polaroid that’s randomized. Audiences are incentivized to go back and keep collecting, either to get who they really want out of the purchase or just expand their collection
