The Balance
A viable culture must balance the need to extend through space with the need to endure in time.

Modern Bias Innis and Carey suggest that we
have invested too much into space-binding and not enough in time-binding media.
What is the consequence?

WITNESSING MEDIA

WITNESSING MEDIA“Witnesses serve as the surrogate sense-
organs of the absent…the means by which experience is supplied to others who lack the original.” (Peters, 709)

Three Media Questions
How does the medium create ontological uncertainty?
How does the medium create epistemological uncertainty?
How does the medium create ethical uncertainty?
![Page 27: Recording and Transmission as Cultural Practices](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568162f8550346895dd37319/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ONTOLOGICAL UNCERTAINTY
Ontology deals with questions about what is
![Page 28: Recording and Transmission as Cultural Practices](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568162f8550346895dd37319/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ONTOLOGICAL UNCERTAINTY
When you witness a mediated event, what is it you are seeing?
![Page 29: Recording and Transmission as Cultural Practices](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568162f8550346895dd37319/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
EPISTEMOLOGICAL UNCERTAINTY
Epistemology deals with questions about what can be known (and
how)
![Page 30: Recording and Transmission as Cultural Practices](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568162f8550346895dd37319/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
EPISTEMOLOGICAL UNCERTAINTY
When you witness a mediated event, how do you know what is
really happening?
![Page 31: Recording and Transmission as Cultural Practices](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568162f8550346895dd37319/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ETHICAL UNCERTAINTYEthics deals with questions about
right conduct
![Page 32: Recording and Transmission as Cultural Practices](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568162f8550346895dd37319/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ETHICAL UNCERTAINTYWhen you witness a mediated
event, how should you respond?
![Page 33: Recording and Transmission as Cultural Practices](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568162f8550346895dd37319/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Space and Time Coordinates
Being there: Presence in
time and space:
Historicity Presence in space but
absent in time
“Live” broadcast: Presence in
time but absent in space
Recording: Absent in Time
and space

The key questions If our experiences are becoming
increasingly mediated, can we deal with the ontological, epistemological, and ethical uncertainties entailed by this kind of witnessing?

The key questions If our experiences are becoming
increasingly mediated, can we deal with the ontological, epistemological, and ethical uncertainties entailed by this kind of witnessing?
Does “being there” still matter?

The key questions If our experiences are becoming
increasingly mediated, can we deal with the ontological, epistemological, and ethical uncertainties entailed by this kind of witnessing?
Does “being there” still matter?
Are there media forms that can create “presence” needed for real participation?
