“Liveness is not a fact; it is an ideology.”
“Not only must ‘liveness’ be understood as an analytical concept specific to the medium, it must also be grasped as an evolving historical practice.”
[Robert Vianello: The Power Politics of "Live" Television. The Journal of film and video Vol.37 No.3. Carbondale 1985, S.26]
