The TV image is audile-tactile. And the simultaneity
of electric impulse from all directions at once
creates spheres and cones which are amazingly like
this type of image, which are familiar also in
stained-glass windows. And unlike the TV image,
the stained-glass window which you have here is
light-through rather than light-on and the thing
that characterizes TV imagery is that it is light-
through rather than light-on image.
“The Electronic Media: An Address by Marshall
McLuhan, Montreux, Switzerland,” The Television
Image , April 5, 1973, CBC Television.
