Beskrivelse
Summary:In contrast with media constructed as vast, ontologically homogeneous, non-localized systems, formats show material networks of interoperability and exclusions, inscribed in local specificities, and involving precise conditions for the circulation of images and sounds.

Media are always formatted and, as such, do not flow: they are displaced.
