Bolter and Grusin’s understanding of new media as caught between the immediacy/hypermediacy dichotomy brings the essence of media to a tension. Each mediated environment is immediate, fostering “in the viewer a sense of presence: the viewer should forget that she is in fact wearing a computer interface” (5). Simultaneously, hypermediacy, which “offers a heterogeneous space, in which representation is conceived of not as a window on to the world, but rather as ‘windowed’ itself” (17) is unavoidable.
