“All media are extensions of some human faculty, psychic or physical,” wrote Marshall McLuhan in ‘Understanding Media’ (1964) and ‘The Medium Is The Massage’ (1967), arguing that, as technology grows, the medium through which information reaches us becomes increasingly decisive for how we perceive it, individually and as a society. ‘Media Before Meaning: Perception Depends on the Medium Used’, investigates that claim directly, examining five media as extensions of the senses—photogrammetric/virtual reality, language, video, sound, and physical objects—and how each shapes what we perceive.
