Line 29:
The Belgian [[surrealist]] artist [[René Magritte]] illustrated the concept of "perception always intercedes between reality and ourselves"<ref>Rene Magritte's surrealism to be to illustrate the point that, "perception always intercedes between reality and ourselves". See for example, p. 15–16 [https://books.google.com/books?id=ZiTpRxkTMwUC&q=korzybski&pg=PA16 Visual Intelligence: Perception, Image, and Manipulation in Visual Communication] by Ann Marie Barry ([http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/communication/faculty/fulltime/barry/ bio] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051129012811/http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/communication/faculty/fulltime/barry/ |date=2005-11-29 }})</ref> in a number of paintings such as ''[[The Treachery of Images]]'', which consists of a drawing of a pipe with the caption, ''Ceci n'est pas une pipe'' ("This is not a pipe").
In ''[[The Medium Is the Message|Understanding Media]]'', [[Marshall McLuhan]] expanded this argument to electronic media with his introduction of the phrase "[[The medium is the message|The Medium is the Message]]" (and later in the book titled [[The Medium Is the Massage|''The Medium is the Massage'']]). Media representations, especially on screens, are abstractions, or virtual "extensions" of what our sensory channels, bodies, thinking and feeling do for us in real life.
