Instantaneously Mediated Virtual Visions: The Transmedia Circuit of Images, Body, and Meanings

Summary/Abstract: Media interactions, based on a mix of visual iconographies that are complex and highly mediated, are often presented within a remediation framework as the product of immediacy exchanges between the object and the viewer. Within these media structures that are in flux between the real and the virtual, the transitional remediation concept of old media to new media by Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin is not sufficient to explain the interactions between technological structures, creative behaviors, emotive interactions and images. The over-layering processes and hybridizations between media that create new languages and sublanguages, both textual and visual, generate new recontextualizations that blend and blur the boundaries with the concept of “body” as a media language which also acts as an emotive filter and reflects upon the methodological media engagements characterized by immediacy as well as hypermediacy, social issues of instantaneousness, biofeedback responses and dromology. The article will conclude by discussing the necessity to recover the meaning and the emotive aspect of the interpretations and representations of the concept of reality and virtuality, together with their mythological and social implications. It will support the research for a new circuit of meanings and emotive interactions that offers an evolutionary space for the remediation of the form as well as transmediation of the content within the context of contemporary new media platforms.
