Theall notes of McLuhan’s relationship with acoustic space throughout the years with explorations into poetry, art and culture:
"The initial phrase “acoustic space, “ probed and played with through three decades, becomes itself an artifact (or “medium”), suggestively exploring the metamorphoses achieved through the transformations affected by electric technologies of production, reproduction, and dissemination on the pre-electric technologies of print and visual prints, writing, and visual art." (Theall, 146)
