This work theorizes the contemporary attraction to threedimensional media. In doing so, it reframes ongoing debates surrounding digital threedimensional media in order to critique the neoliberal social relations such media engender. I argue that the contemporary interest in dimensionality (especially regarding digital media) is symptomatic of a broad cultural shift, wherein millions of lives are now essentially being lived through twodimensional, flat media, which have consequently generated a lack of spatial relationships and a craving or desire for depth. This desire for depth has arisen in contemporary society because people are being spread too thin through a combination of the radical connectivity afforded by digital technology and the demand for limitless flexibility imposed by the market: a condition I call "hyperextensionality." Through analyses of select, prominent forms of threedimensional media, I show that commercial threedimensional media largely functions to maintain the contemporary status quo by helping alleviate the feeling of depthlessness in the social unconscious.
