Intermediality and Computer Simulation
摘要
The topic of this chapter relates to widespread phenomena in digital media culture, as will be demonstrated by a close analysis of a popular movie – Monsters, Inc. It will be shown that computer simulation allows for a new form of intermediality, namely, transmaterial forms. These transmaterial forms are often used in digital media products, and there they are combined with transmedial forms, which are a more classical form of intermediality. Monsters Inc. will be analyzed to demonstrate the entanglement of transmaterial and transmedial forms.
