  12. Terms to know and use • Immediacy – is the perfection, or erasure, of the gap between the signifier and the signified, such that a representation is perceived to be the thing itself. As Burke describes ‘naive verbal realism’ as a symbol being perceived as a window into the real, immediacy is a ‘style of visual representation whose goal is to make the viewer forget the presence of the medium,’ canvas, screen, etc. Source: Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin’s “Remediation: Understanding New Media.”

  13. Terms to know and use • Hypermediacy – In the opposite way, this is a ‘style of visual representation whose goal is to remind the viewer of the medium.’ Think opaque hypermediacy versus transparent immediacy Source: Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin’s “Remediation: Understanding New Media.”
