I have a deep sympathy for machines. So I give them access to my body without use. I allow entry of the machine. Transfer the body into data to let the machine understand. Only the machine can see into me without breaking me open. It has no peripheral. Nothing is insincere.

“paradoxical logic emerges when the real-time image dominates the thing represented, real-time subsequently prevailing over real space, virtuality dominating actuality and turning the very concept of reality on its head” (Virilio)
Laboria Cuboniks states in relation to Xenofeminism,
“digital technologies are not separable from the material realities that underwrite them; they are connected so that each can be used to alter the other towards different ends. Rather than arguing for the primacy of the virtual over the material, or the material over the virtual, xenofeminism grasps points of power and powerlessness in both, to unfold this knowledge as effective interventions in our jointly composed reality.”
Paul Virilio’s The Vision Machine (1994), we are at a point were one must consider the “philosophical question of the splitting of viewpoint, the sharing of perception of the environment between the animate (the living subject) and the inanimate (the object, the seeing machine),”(p. 59-60).
