Computers, video, radio, printing presses, synthesizers, fax machines, tape recorders, photocopiers--these things make good toys, but terrible addictions. Finally we realize we cannot `` reach out and touch someone'' who is not present in the flesh. These media may be useful to our art--but they must not possess us, nor must they stand between, mediate, or separate us from our animal/animate selves. We want to control our media, not be Controlled by them. You can't get sick from too much knowledge--but we can suffer from the virtualization of knowledge, its alienation from us & its replacement by a weird dull changeling or simulacrum-- the same ``data,'' yes, but now dead--like supermarket vegetables; no ``aura.'' |
