Part of MICRONATION/MACRONATION 2012

“The Mc Luhan Perspective: Of Massaging Mind and Media”

McLuhan went on to describe the emotional rigor and physical 
participation television extracts of its audience calling TV a ‘cool 
medium’. In the era of the Vietnam war, “a hot shooting war” he notes 
that a “cool medium such as TV involves the audience so deeply they 
find the war unbearable. Show the same war on press photography etc. and 
people won’t feel so badly about it. On TV they feel really involved.”
Revisiting this exchange in the era of cultural convergence that social
media and digital culture creates globally we may ask today which 
medium has gained the emotional and reactive foreground of our 
participation as an audience?
