Mediation is production for its own sake rather than circulation.

Evidence

Drawing these conspicuous oppositions is an exercise in educing contradiction, including friction-freighting categories. There will be readers to whom immediacy remains balm, and those for whom the exhortation to mediate clangs of false opening. But perhaps a final contrast will inspire: immediacy is all about circulation. Mediation might, then, be conceived as production, though that production which distinguishes itself as for its own sake, means in themselves: making relations, making something different happen, making shit not the worst. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 376
