چکیده

What are the boundaries between traditional and new media, between ability and disability, and between the artist and the processes for making art?

Using McLuhan’s tetrad as an analytical lens we identify processes simultaneously altered as users engaged with tablet devices. Social interaction and self-initiated communication were observed when tablets were used to create art.
