Bolter & Grusin (52-87)

"No medium, it seems, can now function independently and establish its own separate and purified space of cultural meaning." (p. 55)

This was one of the most interesting things that stuck out to me while I was reading in Remediation. It makes me think of how different forms of art bleed into each other and this is true with different kinds of media. In respect to this, media can be considered art in its own form. Another thing that stuck out to me was that each form of mediation depends on other acts of mediation. This couples with the idea that no medium can function independently from another because it needs the bolstering of another medium to support it.
