Different media may enact this desire in different ways. Although linear-perspective painting and film may keep the viewer distant from what he views, in virtual reality the viewer steps through Alberti's window and is placed among the objects of representation. Similarly, the desire for sexual immedediacy could aim for a voyeuristic examination of the objects of representation or a union with them. Hitchcock's is an act of hypermediacy. In this sense, it refers to the symbolic act itself and thus would include writing.
Transparent immediacy becomes a reaction against the power and function of mediation.
