In the era of electronic communication, the quotidien activity of the image that illustrates and the sentence that comments has been disrupted by similitude - an uncanny and paradoxical repetition propelled by the velocity at which the world of things recedes from the grasp of the sign.[1] if the original is a scan and digital the original disappears the shift from meaning to pattern recognition you can no longer make meaning it is how it hits the body meaning is in the discursive frame slightly that which is before meaning intelligent agents people are meaning making machines imbue meaning in selection cope with the complexity through pattern recognition make sense of all that information this way of looking at images is the meaning survival for meaning data has not come in The purpose of the diagram is to map the historical orginisation of power that reproduces itself in these phenomena and in doing to facilitate understanding of both the functioning of power and strategies of resistance.[2] your programming your programmed to look at certain imagery soon as something is in existence it is in language how tacit knowledge operates the mind works at a faster rate than it ever had model of the world is constantly being refined the brain can never be filled up dominance of language the strategies of resistance it has to change you have to use it there is a pause before you can integrate whether you take into account the lay of the land where things get collapsed back republic and getting an identity its just a stepping stone being here for a long time you resit change ours is a quotidian in fact it is not the grand vision it is the every week doing of it how do you deal with the hegemonic structure by creating local pockets of resistance revolutionary speaking it starts in little groups like this justify yourselves
