> Media and art are terms that are used separately to denote very many
> different phenomena, but they have also found acceptance in their
> compound forms of media art and art media. Their applicability is very
> wide-ranging and subject to very few rules. While that is so, this
> virtual lack of any restrictions harbours an opportunity. It helps to
> do away with a rigid assignment to categories and can thus pave the
> way to a broad understanding of what media and art have represented up
> to the present and what they can develop into in the future. For it
> would seem that we cannot dispense with these two terms even if they
> are now frequently employed as opposites.
>
> Thanks to their widespread use and steadily increasing success the
> media now not only reach out to every corner of the globe. The
> significance they have acquired has also enabled them to stand the
> world on its head in that reality as portrayed in the mass media has
> achieved the status of primary reality as a supplier of information.
> If the media constitute everyday reality, art interpreted along
> traditional lines is the enhancing or transcending of what is
> customary. Art embodies information that goes beyond time and
> circumstances. It is moulded into a form that breaks with the
> directness of reality and opens up avenues that are capable of linking
> the past with the present to constitute the future, thereby enabling
> them to coexist.
