Manovich begins with the search through history of the "invisible effects"...from the effect of movement itself to better and better ways to display those effects of movement. Music videos were the experimentation ground floor while video games seem to have perfected reality. And loops begin and end with substance through the force of circumstance and necessity.
I love best, of course, that the photographic and the graphic met again on the computer screen and now the "avant-garde" are again "ironically resurrecting dead media". Well put.
Media translation is where the old becomes new and the new becomes old and something cool or beautiful or relevant is born "again" in between. Ha! Warhol was right.
