Remediation about Remediation

Remediation is the notion that news medias stem from past medias. Remediation about remediation is a more developed process whereby the new medias don't necessarily reflect the original media which it originally came from however, the method of presenting content is still the same. Bolter and Grusin do a good job connecting the genealogy of media and how they have affected one another.

Hypermedia is a term the authors use to talk about media that contains multiplicity. This idea reminds of the MTV genre of music and how a myriad of messages are sent out to reinforce a particular ideology. Bolter an Grusin state that “stage representations of rock bands like U2 are celebrations of media and the act of remediation”. In the recent performance at the super bowl half-time show The Who, performed with an array of choreographed grandiose lighting and sound and when it's put together, it embodies an entirely new way of presenting a concert.
