Bolter and Grusin's "Immediacy, Hypermediacy, and Remediation"

Immediacy: Bolter and Grusin state that immediacy as it relates to computers would require them to have interfaces without recognizable tools so that they would be more natural. The user would then come into an immediate relationship with the contents of the medium. However, how is it possible for the interface to be interfaceless? Would everyone really be comfortable with this? Computers must have tools such as a keyboards and video games must have controllers. I like the idea of photography as an Albertian window, a singular window the into which the viewer sees and becomes immersed.

Hypermediacy: One idea about hypermediacy that really struck me, as one who studies art history is that of representations within representations and artists representing the world made up of multiple representations such as Velasquez's Las Meninas. How about Manet's The Bar at the Folies-Bergere? For there are certainly multiple representations of the barmaid from different perspectives in the painting. In addition, Bolter and Grusin mention the idea of collage and photomontage as hypermedia - for they rearrange pre-existing media. Images are often taken out of their original context to create new meaning.
