Information and images bump against each other every day in massive quantities, and the resonance of this interfacing is like the babble of a village or tavern gossip session.

Nobody can commit photography alone.

The media have substituted themselves for the older world.

All media work us over completely.

The news automatically becomes the real world for the TV user and is not a substitute for reality, but is itself an immediate reality.

Only the vanquished remember history.

The new is always made up of the old, or rather, what people see in the new is always the old thing. The rear-view mirror. The future of the future is the present, and this is something that people are terrified of.
