"Intermedia" is Dick Higgins' term for experimental artistic expression, which crosses the boundaries of media that is traditionally divided into poetry, drama, music, and visual arts. The boundaries of art can be fused with media to create a great work of art.
The chapter also mentions numerous artists, including Nam June Paik (1932 - 2006). He worked with a variety of different media and is known as the founder of video art (and also coined the term "electronic super highway" in reference to telecommunications).
With Jud Yalkut and the "Floating Theatre," he was able to create and present a piece called Dream Reel, which was a mixed-media performance and tribute to Paik. The "Floating Theatre" is actually a huge parachute canopy, which is "anchored by nylon chords" to the performance area. By surrounding the audience, it is able to use both front and rear projection techniques to fully immerse the audience. I would of liked to be present during such a performance
