The integration of digitized performance to our own influences
perception. It has to be taken into regard, that as selfreferential
as these computerized systems are, they cannot really work under
total closure, because they need correlation. 'In order to be what
it is, a system must be other. Yet because self-referentiallity
incorporates alterity deep inside the system, it simultaneously
creates a pocket within it: the very process of self-referentiality
that generates a system's coherence also renders it systematically
unstable, incomplete, disorientated.'3
So this should not be forgotten when we take use of devices to create
'imaginary worlds that have a special relationship to reality -
worlds in which we can extend, amplify, and enrich our own capabilities
to think, feel, and act.'4 (movie)
