‘Simply put, a format is a heterogeneous and often provisional structure that channels content. Mediums are subsets of formats –the difference lies solely in scale and flexibility. Mediums are limited and limiting because they call forth singular objects and limited visual practices, such as painting and video. Mediums are analogue in a digital world. Formats regulate image currencies (image power) by modulating their force, speed, and clarity.’
