According to this website, immediacy allows for a synthetic experience of reality that generated real emotions. For example, a horror film that has its viewers clutching their seats and jumping at the slightest noise has achieved immediacy. The film transcends its status as just that; a staged, planned, and recorded movie. It becomes "real" for the audience. Hypermediacy, on the other hand, calls attention to the medium. This would occur while watching a film and reveling in its special effects created by computer. Here is a good explanation of the relationship between immediacy and hypermediacy: "Immediacy erases that limits of what we are capable of experiencing, while hypermediacy gives us the power and the means by which to experience it."

This site has definitions of remediation, mediation, immediacy, and hypermediacy. Which are short and sweet.

This is a Youtube video about immediacy, hypermediacy, and remediation that explains what they are and how they are applied to media that we come into contact with each day. It very helpful in giving you a better understanding what they mean without all the large words, its plain and simple.  

short video about immediacy and hypermediacy

This stuff is really hard for me to understand. This is a definition to help if others are struggling.

This website gives an explanation about remediation and new media.  It also gives an explanation of how remediation is defined by predecessors like the television, radio and or old media like journals.  Media can interact with other kind of media by reproducing and replacing and making other changes.

I like how this article explains what remediation is and new media. This article talks about the double logic of remediation which are the process of remediation, remediation and reality, redmediation as reform.

This is actually kind of a summary of the concepts of the Remediation book. This is helpful because you can get a quick grasp of what the book is talking about in a few short paragraphs summarizing the ideas.

This link is to an analysis of Bolter, Jay David, and Richard Grusin. Remediation: Understanding New Media. The MIT Press, 2000. By Time Barrow. It is interesting how the blogger touches on the principles of Transparent Immediacy and Hypermedia. He discusses how the online video conversation (OVC), acts like earlier media in that it makes its presence known to the user by hyper-mediation. Though this type of video does include a face to face view of a recorded person, it separates itself from video conferencing and Skype by allowing the user to pause and ponder responses, respond at request, and post re-recorded responses live. Technologies like this have a huge potential in distance learning with online classes. Imagine your instructors recording their lectures with every view having a front seat in the class. Combine this with the ability to pause the lecture to reflect on information and develop scenarios for different problems that are presented. All while having the ability to ask any question about info covered and re watching any portion of video until clearly understood.

This websites explains what each of the items means and what roles they play in new media. it also goes on to talk about where these items come into play in everyday things that we use like skype and so on. 

This article discusses some of the main factors in "Introduction: The Double Logic of Remediation". Remediation, immediacy, hypermediacy and mediation. It gives an overall review and glossary terminology for these topics discussed.

This is my favorite of the websites that supplement my understanding of remediation because it does a great job of explaining the subject. It gives great examples of movies and events that involved remediation that I would know and this helped me understand it more. 

This article analyzing Bolter, Grusin book has fianlly helped me "get it." For some reason this was hard for me to wrap my mind around, but the way it is re-stated here is better for me.

This is a writing from Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin that defines remediation, hypermediacy and immediacy. It has very good descriptions written in a way we can relate to by bringing in examples that are familiar to us like the movie Jurassic Park and the Pathfinder landing on Mars.

Transparent immediacy is "new media" that thinks of itself as interfaceless whiles hypermediacy is opaque and juxtaposed and come back into repeated contact with interface. Both get beyond representation and into the real.

This page talks directly about the double logic of remediation and correlates closely with a lot of the concepts and theory talked about in the reading. It mentions immediacy which is aimed at diminishing users awareness of the media and hypermediacy which is aimed at enhancing that same awareness. It gives some great examples of the double logic of remediation and really helped me better understand what it means. This was my favorite of the different pages that I explored.
