- nested mediality\nThe process of mediatisation (of making something visible) is now based upon a double, nested invisibility: the insivibility of sight is embedded in the invisibility of a media environment wherein sight happens.\n\n
- In the realm of digital media, this process could also be understood like this.\nThe reconceptualisation of sight is an embedded transformation of its structural aspects.\nThis also bears the possibility of making sight visible (perceivable), i.e. of allowing sight to be reflected upon.\n
- How complex media structures change the game (practices) of seeing, looking, gazing\n

- cf. Constanze Bausch/Benjamin Jörissen (2004): Erspielte Rituale. Kampf und Gemeinschaftsbildung auf LAN-Partys. In: Christoph Wulf e.a.: Bildung im Ritual. Schule, Familie, Jugend, Medien. Wiesbaden: VS-Verlag, S. 303-357.\nThe meaning of the martial visuality of the game is defined by the gamers communities („clans“). \nThe Visuality of this game has been designed for gaming speed and playability, not for the purpose of visually realistic war scenes.\nPleasure in viewing blood „(frags“) and killing scenes is despised, because in order to achieve the goals of the group, the game has to be taken (and seen) from a distanced, strategic, thus rational perspective.\n

- Prisoners can always be seen/guard can never be seen\n
- Structural changes of the view: no mutuality (no control), persistence of being-seen (no control).\n

- On June 16th, 2011, a photograph of three Chinese officials standing on a road was posted via China’s Huili County Government official website, accompanied by the caption: “County mayor Li Ningyi and vice-mayor Tang Xiaobing are inspecting the newly constructed country road at Lihong Town." \nOn June 26th, 2011, a Tianya Club[1] forum member posted the image with the title “Too fake: the propaganda photo for our county.“\n\n

- Officials posted an apology to the Chinese social networking site Weibo a day later. The officials further explained that the three county officials did visit the site, but none of the photographs taken during the inspection were suitably impressive for publication.\nNonetheless, after reports from the Guardian and the NY Times, the photoshop meme went on.\n
- Similarly, John Pike, the infamous „pepper spraying cop“ who „treated“ students which participated in an „Occupy“ deminstration at the Univ. of California, soon became subject of a photoshop meme and got his own blog.\n\nThis case is not working against a „hegemonic view“, but it also demonstrates the power of „viral visibility“.\n\n
