Mediation generates collectivity which immediacy’s style forecloses.

Evidence

The style of immediacy precludes art, literature, video, and theory from convoking collectives and from catalyzing representation itself as a medium of collectivity. Mediations are composites of language, composites of images, compositions of meaning, composed ideas—that produce something more than immediate experience. It is this putting into medium and generating of the middle that actually responds to crisis, instead of perpetuating its intrinsic immersions and extremes. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 378
