tHe Memory of tHINGS

[The past is] somewhere beyond the reach of the intellect,
and unmistakably present in some material object (or in sensation
which such an object arouses in us), though we have no idea which
one it is. As for that object, it depends entirely on chance
whether we come upon it before we die or whether we never
encounter it.

The little thing that makes magic..the complexity of an adolescent...the vulnerability of a man...the strength of a child..the fragility in the determined stride of a woman...

Manuel Castells on Real Virtuality

Real Virtuality: a system in which reality itself (that is, people’s material/symbolic existence) is entirely captured, fully immersed in a virtual image setting, in the world of make believe, in which appearances are not just on the screen through which experience is communicated, but they become the experience.
