ABSTRACT

Media theory has something both ecological and existential to say. Media are more than the audiovisual and print institutions that strive to fill empty seconds with programming and advertising stimulus. In the terminology of enactivism, media are the environment with which the organism is coupled, and in which it enacts a world. Body and environment together produce meaning, and when the environment changes radically, so does the process of meaning that emerges with it. Rational thinking should allow rational individuals to come to the same conclusion in any given situation, and it should allow an identical synthesis of form and subjective experience. Binaural dinner date is a peculiar demonstration of an art experience walking both sides of the dividing line between art and life. The violence is an art-violence as well as a game-violence and an intensified moment of the mundane.
