kind. of weird mutant puritanism.. An alternative is to take the great<br />

events that cross. the media vector and to freeze the frame. Look.<br />

closely at the decisive images. Wind the tape. backwards looking for<br />

patterns. Play the whole. thing in fast forward to look at the rhythm of<br />

the. edits. In other words we can discover history. within the media<br />

image without making claims to. an external superior grasp on truth.<br />

Through the. classic Burroughsian techniques of cut up play. back<br />

repetition we can produce our own. knowledge of media as history<br />

history as. mediation.. Roy Is there anything else on which you're.<br />

working that you'd like to. bring up here. I'm increasingly interested in<br />

the dual character of. the vectoral empire. It has its engines of<br />

privatized. information but it also has its engine of. vectoralizing<br />

military power. We are truly in the. age of infowar. Of course real<br />

people die killed by. real bombs but information over where those.<br />

people are how to target them with bombs. that's the new face of<br />

warfare. The new warfare is. a suspected terrorist in Yemen being<br />

assassinated. by a remote controlled drone. It's the. infrastructure of<br />

Serbia being jammed with. strategically placed bombing that shuts<br />

down all. command and control.. Now the two faces of empire are<br />

closely linked in. that they both run on the same vectoral. technologies.<br />

There is a militaryentertainment. complex that turns civilian and<br />

military space alike. into a gamespace for the calculation of moves.<br />

governed by arbitrary but nevertheless effective. rules. We are in the<br />

middle of a great game the. goal of which is subordinate history to<br />

reason.. Not to Hegel's historical reason but the logic of the. game. And<br />

anyone who won't play by the rules is. be contained (Kim Jong Il) or<br />

eliminated. (Saddam).. the vector the spoils.... frontwheeldrive.com. ...<br />
