Out of Body Experience

“So my suggestion then, is to open our eyes to the virtual not as a futuristic technology, but as it already shapes and defines the world around us through time. By taking the visual appearance of things as immaterial forms with material affectivity, we allow ourselves to move beyond the limitations of physical presence, which demands that one thing cannot be something else, or somewhere else at the same time. The reduction of culture to the social should be replaced by an inquiry into the proliferation of the social through the cultural, as so many experiences of the virtual in time and space.” – Warwick Mules

Omg… its actually quite funny… imagine someone who is super perceptive to the virtual, stares at some outmoded commodity on display and goes FARRRR OUT. I think i can lock myself indoors and just play with my malfunctioning 1st generation iPod. Brick as narcotic.
