... Montage
aims to create visual, stylistic, semantic, and emotional dissonance
between different elements.
In contrast,
compositing aims to blend them into a seamless whole, a single
gestalt.
Most images
and spaces of contemporary culture are juxtapositions of different
elements; calling any such juxtaposition "montage" renders the term
meaningless.
