The
advent of paperless media has affected more discrete in appearance and in their
use and distribution: the very creation has been disrupted. Indeed,
the physical media has been a constraint as such, to be considered in the
creative process, and has had an influence on the form. Some
constraints are evident, for example for music: the total duration of an album
now has virtually no limits imposed. Others are more subtle for the consumer,
but not less inconsequential to the creators.
