Medium - Media - Post-media

Abstract

The poster shows the fundamental difference between the concept of medium and media. Does the difference exist in each imaging and information system? The topic is focusing on the model of post-media thinking in our post-information society. We would like to analyze how the basic difference of medium - media influences the human cognition, thinking about the future imaging and information systems, computing processes and future trends of imaging techniques. The concept of science within the post-media theory of thinking focuses on constitution proceeding through critical reflexive medium. It is using still more and more deeply methods for further researches. Critical reflexive form is the methodology used for analysing of the term medium which is understand as mediate factor. Here we are investigating the autonomous medium related to itself - this is called, as Luhmann said in his theory of the social systems, Self-reference. On the other hand the medium is able to develop a relation to open universal entity (Other-reference) that just enables self-emancipation of the objects. There is a difference between the individual and general relation. Each medium evinces a possiblity of contradiction in relation to another media, that are based on different and authentic conditions. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
