Hablando de la materialidad del soporte de la escritura este artículo es muy interesante para ver lo que está pasando en el área de la materialidad del soporte de la televisión. Aquí les dejo unos párrafos que hablan de la relación física que tenemos con la tele y el autor termina comparando la experiencia de ver televisión (en otro tipo de medios que no sea un televisor per se) con la lectura:
Here's the important physical fact that separates online from off-line TV: you're holding something. Watching old-school TV, you flop on the couch and let the medium wash over you. New school, you hold a screen in your hand, balance a laptop or sit at a desk. There's a small but constant effort, the tiniest bit of physical feedback.
This makes me a much more impatient viewer. If a video doesn't grab me immediately, I kill it. But when a show does engage me, the connection is deeper. The wide-screen image is a foot or two from my face, filling my field of vision. The connection is tactile and intimate. (Coincidentally, I'm told the Internet is also a popular medium for porn.) As you lean in, focusing physically and mentally on, say, an episode of The Wire, watching becomes something more like reading.
