“Mediatised performance is performance that is circulated on television, as audio or video recordings, and in other forms based in technologies of reproduction. Baudrillard’s own definition is more expansive: “What is mediatised is not what comes off the daily press, out of the tube, or on the radio: it is what is reinterpreted by the sign of form, articulated into models, and administered by the code” (Baudrillard 1981:175-6). For Baudrilard, meditisation is not simply a neutral term describing products of the media. Rather, he sees the media as instrumental in a larger, socio-political process of bringing all discourses under the dominance of a single code.”
(Auslander 1999: 4-5)
