re: #265 ObserverArt

I’ve even seen people discuss the difference between real life images and pictures in a book or even more so on TV. The thinking there is the printed half-tone dots and the small pixels of video do not implant the same way as seeing it for real. The image is broken up and that is not hat mom nature intended.

I’ve always found all that interesting.

According to Marshall McLuhan (“The Medium Is The Message”), TV images imprint more deeply than print. Because they’re not broadcasting a whole picture, they’re broadcasting bunches of pixels and your brain has to do the work of turning it into a picture.

Also… TV is for “lots of stuff happening at once” split-attention holistic processing, while radio only works for “one thing at a time” linear processing. That’s why baseball is a radio game and football is a TV game.
