“The medium is the message”
- Art forms are not only messengers, but they are ways of perceiving, knowing the world.
- The message of is the media - the method of the media.
- It is the medium that is the art
Within Ulysses, we see many new forms of media and technology emerge:
- The typewriter which Deasy uses in 2 Nestor
- The “press” to which Stephen must deliver Deasy’s letter in 2 Nestor
- The Photogirl at beach towards the end of 1 Telemachus
- The “telephone cable” that Stephen compares to an umbilical cord, during his musings in 3 Proteus
