Remediation

Games

• The spectrum of ways new media ‘remediates’ old media

• The term Remediation comes from the work of Bolter and Grusin

 Immediacy - Media that aspire to a condition of transparency The aim is to make the viewer forget That they are watching a movie and be drawn in to the experience.

Hypermediacy - Artifacts that are aware of and wish to display there own constructed nature

They call attention to their own constructed nature all the time

Remedation is the tansfer of one media to another. this can be exampled as the news showing from the televsion to be showing on the web.

Another Example would be the games that are shown on console that are also show through films.

These are known as technoludic film as remediation

Remediation  takes place as it may take time for new medium to develop unique forms of content

Successful conventions end up being traded between different media.

The Goal of computer games was to render into visual 3 the text based narratives of early computer games.
