Mediated Time and Space in the Context of Mobile Internet:A New Perspective Transcending Representation
The temporal and spatial order in the context of mobile Internet is a process of mediated construction.This type of configuration relies on the material connection between the medium of tech-nical artifacts and humans.Unlike the traditional experiential logic of spatial-temporal mediatization,the spatial-temporal order constructed by various media(mobile terminals such as smartphones)and digital objects(interactive interfaces,algorithms,etc.)no longer manifests as their instrumental meas-urement of human spatial-temporal experience and individual consciousness subjectivity in perceiving spatial-temporal.In contrast,the communication practice in the context of mobile Internet is putting our perception,speech and practice of time and space into the coupling context of human and intelligent machines.The mediated spatiotemporal distribution constructed from this is distributed in the interac-tive process of our interaction with media and digital objects,rather than the structural and functional representation of mediated space and time.
