 In communication, media (singular Medium) are the storage and transmission tools used to store and deliver information or data. It is often referred to as synonymous with mass media or news media, but may refer to a single medium used to communicate any data for any purpose.
In the arts, media (plural of medium) are the materials and techniques used by an artist to produce a work.
In communication studies or media studies, ‘mediatisation ’ is a term used to describe a process in which modernity is shaped. It is a process which begins with a change in communication media and proceeds to subordination of the power of prevailing influential institutions. This situation is best described as ‘mediatisation’ and as a consequence of this process institutions and whole societies are shaped by and dependent on mass media.
"The medium is the message " is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived. |

 Video art is a type of art which relies on moving pictures and comprises video and/or audio data. (It should not however be confused with television or experimental cinema). Video art came into existence during the 1960s and 1970s, is still widely practiced and has given rise to the widespread use of video installations.
Video art is named after the video tape, which was most commonly used in the form's early years, but before that artists had already been working on film, and with changes in technology Hard Disk, CD-ROM, DVD, and solid state are superseding the video tape as the carrier. Despite obvious parallels and relationships, video art is not film. |

 1st Gridcosm entry
52 minutes and 15 seconds.Ok, so now I know how it works... I'm sitting here checking it out and decide to log in for the first time. Only, I don't click on the login button in the top right corner, I click the one that is right in front of me... And the next thing I know, I've got two hours and counting. So out with the Gimp and straight to work. Images must be 150 x 150px. That seems to be the only rule. After that it's a free-for-all! Not all images blend into each other but I couldn't resist. And I didn't make it easy for whoever is taking on the only spot left... |

"hello! your id is TEK ... welcome to sito!"
  Gridcosm is a collaborative art project in which artists from around the world contribute images to a compounding series of graphical squares.
Each level of Gridcosm is made up of nine square images arranged into a 3x3 grid. The middle image is a one-third size version of the previous level. Artists add images around that center image until a new 3x3 grid is completed, then that level itself shrinks and becomes the "seed" for the next level. This process creates an ever expanding tunnel of images, the newest level a direct result of the previous level which is a result of the previous level... and so on. Discuss this article on the forums. (1 posts) |
