Recontextualisation Quotes

This is why it might be more useful to understand the proliferation of interactive media as an opportunity for renaissance: a moment when we have the ability to step out of the story altogether.

Renaissance literally means 'rebirth'. It is the rebirth of old ideas in a new context. (Douglas Rushkoff)
