In this essay, W.J.T. Mitchell examines visual media, specifically visual mediums. Using a very authoritative tone and patriarchal gaze Mitchell deconstructs visual mediums by expressing his belief that "all media are mixed media". He relies on art history references to support his subjective claims. Reading his work it is easy to become turned off because he leaves little room for you to develop your own opinion. Art historians beware,
Mitchell is not too happy with your way of seeing.
