Remediation, Immediacy and Hypermediacy

"Succinctly put, remediation is media used anew in other media. Not mainly the content, but (part of) the form is reused in a new media form."

That, according to Mediated memories, is remediation in a nutshell. The blog post goes on to talk about immersing oneself in a story.

Comps like these show that the bigger an image is, the more it becomes real. Clearly, immediacy and hypermediacy are not mutually exclusive. Rather, there counterparts reinforce each other.

Time Barrow of Contemplating Digital Orality has a different take on immediacy, hypermediacy and remediation. He says that immediacy has a lot to do with access, understanding and interaction, and how easy it is to do these three things. Hypermediacy, however, has to do with things being very easily interactive, but not necessarily transparent, the blog says. For remediation, Time says that it depends on what else has been put out, via new media and more. He argues that there should be a difference between viewing a painting in person and viewing a painting online. However, for whatever reason, this is not the case.
