The fact that the mass media constitute such a ubiquitous presence
in contemporary life often leads to the assumption that "medium" or
"media" emerged as a specific issue only with the advent of mass
media. The question of medium is today almost totally subsumed
within discussions of the mass media. In this context, it is always
regarded as plural. Yet the issue of the medium became a central
concern of modernist art almost a century and a half ago. This
collection of essays seeks to reopen this long history of
exploration and engagement and to scrutinize the role of the medium
in areas as diverse as modernist, contemporary, and avant-garde
art, photography, cinema, and architecture, as well as in the more
familiar guises of electronic media including television and
computer games.
