People are mediums themselves. If they are not aware that they are, they are like fish in the water, which are not aware of the water. So, it depends on the question "is one aware of the water"?

One may say that it is impossible to find out in asking this question directly since the person being asked might not understand what you mean.

Art is one form of expressing what modern people perceive as being projected onto them through the power of high speed connection and algorithms. Movies and stories are one form of making that the subject of the plot: humans as mere projection and reflection surfaces of what message the Internet highway represents. Since it itself is the message, meaning that it's irrelevant what you and I think ourselves.

This begs the question, for example, of whether the medium serves us or whether we are the medium's servants. I think this is decided at the moment when two fish enter into a dialogue, including the goal that both part in order to have understood each other well. If you are only connected to each other to satisfy the "need" of the "water to learn", you might as well leave any dialogue and swim past each other. For any dialogue is pointless, and the water having been taught now becomes the great teacher?

I very much miss that you didn't give me your own wording.
