| Abstract: | ＂Now, instead of a mass audience consuming media from a single source, we have multiple sources, multiple channels and multiple audiences. Every participant is potentially a sender as well as a receiver of information, and the fortune required to set up a TV barrier to entry is no longer the station or a newspaper, but the price of a PC and an Internet connection. Much of contemporary political graphics in particular is designed with the internet in mind...with the steady growth of broadband connection, a full- color poster can be created as a digital file small enough either to send by email or to download from a website set up for the purpose, and printed by the recipient in as many copies as necessary or simply passed on digitally.＂--Colin Moore, Propaganda Prints： A History of Art in the Service of Social and Political Change, A＋C Books, London, 2011 |
