Remediation: Games

Remediation is the representation of one medium in another, we argue that remediation is a defining characteristic of the new digital media.

The spectrum of ways new media 'remediates' old media.

Remediation can refer to a whole range of conventions, for example, we find examples of Aesthetic conventions constantly being used by different media.

Why does remediation take place?

It may take time for a new medium to develop unique forms of content.

Its not very surprising that successful conventions get traded between different media.
