In the mode of explaining what I understand from this text
The intention of 'MEDIA:
broad sense - "means for presenting information" - not innocent instruments; structure experience;
linguistic and mediatic turns - the crucial role of media - configuration of the human mind and experience;
artistic experience - fit in "Media are interfaces that mediate not only between us and our world (designation), but also between us and our fellow man (communication), and between us and ourselves (self-understanding)"

'Manipulation Value' - computer interface constitutes and structures aesthetic experience;

'Exhibition Value' -
'Cult Value' -
