The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited. It is a medium that can dinamically simulate the details of any other medium, including media that cannot exist physically. It is not a tool, altough it can act as many tools. It is the first metamedium, and as such it has degrees of freedom for representation ans expression never before encountered and yet barely investigated.
