[-empyre-] Zhang Peili on Media

[lab]

recently there's new change at Hangzhou, new media department is gone, the School have reformed them into a studio format....
for 媒介 (media or medium) there's many conflict in the meaning, and I have an article in 2006 talk about it:

 it's not been translated yet, sorry...

and it's related to:
http://www.bjartlab.com/read.php?52
http://bjartlab.com/read.php?54
http://bjartlab.com/read.php?53

it's can be treated as related issue but from the international to national scene....

best
