Visual media is a medium that can be perceived by our visual senses. Our oldest known references to visual media are of course the paintings etched on rocks, walls and later canvases. With the advent of plays, we saw visuals performed in succession. With the advent of television, we saw digitized images in succession. Since then, we have come leaps and bounds. There are computers, phone-devices on which digitized media is comprehensible and accessible. Animation is now available to the masses, a phenomenon where drawn images move as they are made to enact and dance and speak. 3D technology is now common knowledge, as is virtual and augmented reality. With these mind boggling variations of how a human being perceives media, our horizons have expanded. We can now place image within image, as well as an imaginary image within a real one. We can view pictures in three, four and five dimensions, and envision imagination as reality.Visual media has truly evolved over the years, and the process has been cumbersome, but fruitful.
