LIVING IN YOUTUBE – 2010
“the public,in the sense of a great consensus of separate and distinctive viewpoints ,is finished.today,the mass audience(the successor to “the public”) can be used as a creative,participating force…the living room has become a voting booth.participation via television in freedom marches,in war,revolution,pollution,and other events is changing EVERYTHING.” Marshall McLuhan
yes,indeed.they changed to the level that mass audience has become media itself. the protester”you” is media. living 3700 km away from the event,i have become media myself. the public of living in “you”tube , standing in the middle of the dark room,will become a part of the “mass audience/media”.
