Summary/Abstract: The author proposes a reflection on streaming understood as one of the dominant media technocultures of the early 21st century. By distinguishing the concept of stream (TV flow) from streaming (an Internet-based activity), he presents live streaming (‘remote viewing’ using real-time data retrieval from a server) in opposition to the live formula of traditional, linear television (entangled in the temporality of the TV programme). Regarding the use of Internet film platforms (especially Video on Demand), he indicates the process of remediation of films in the Internet space. Referring to films from Netflix’s Black Mirror series such as Bandersnatch (2018) by David Slade and Joan Is Awful (2023) by Ally Pankiw, as well as to Cam (2018) by Daniel Goldhaber and Spree (2020) by Eugene Kotlyarenko, the author depicts their self-reflective nature as streaming metaphors.
