While format is usually related to visuality, precision and instrumentality, medium disentangles matter in ways that encourage the emergence of a plasticity beyond recognizable, visible or predictable modes of being and making. The paper explores the tension between the notions of “format” and “medium,” and seeks to dissolve the boundaries [SF1] of the liminal area that simultaneously divides and connects them – an area characterized by fluidity and openness, by a sense of liquidity and by an oceanic understanding of reality that raises questions and begs for a symbolic and ethical reconsideration of embodied/performative design studies [Steinberg, P. & Peters, K. (2015). Wet ontologies, fluid spaces: giving depth to volume through oceanic thinking, Environment & Planning D: Society & Space, 33, pp. 247-264]
