the implosion of body and technology works both ways -- as technology invades spaces formerly sacred to the body, bodies are invading spaces formerly occupied solely by technology. concomitant with this, comfortable assumptions regarding the essential distinction between categories are shaken when almost anything of importance to the Western mind can be digitized, processed, and simulacratized.

western bodies of today are highly technology informed.
