Abstract
In this chapter, I sketch an elementary model for analyzing media transformation intended to work for all conceivable media types and to simplify a methodical approach to media transformation. Whereas the proposed formula, ‘Compound media characteristics are Transferred from a source Medium to a target Medium’, is indeed exceedingly simple in itself, it is framed by developed explanations of notions such as modality modes, technical medium, and mediation, and a series of visual diagrams. The aim of this chapter is to summarize and specify various aspects of the process of transferring compound media characteristics and to point to the complications that arise as soon as one leaves the most clear-cut examples of media transformation.
