Media let a person occupy more space than their physical body

Evidence

Before media there used to be a physical limit on how much space one person could take up by themselves. People, I think, are the only things that know how to take up more space than the space they’re actually in, because with media you can sit back and still let yourself fill up space on records, in the movies, most exclusively on the telephone and least exclusively on television. — Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, 510
