Lev Manovich – The Language of New Media

- everything that is digital – 10110110110 (even a digital camera)
- modularity – example: subtitles aren’t on the media, they are a different media
- automation – no control, you don’t need to do it yourself, you put a youtube url on facebook and it automaticly embeds the video to your page
- variability
- transcoding

- distribution
