Dimension 1, a choice of the role that the shared medium plays :
- ambient background (background music in a bar)
- inspires but doesn't dominate the social interaction (going to a club where you are there for the music, but not listening attentively)
- focus of attention (going to the cinema)
Dimension 2 is whether this is with friends or strangers.
