From Dust Breeding, Fatal Strategies and The Virtual Illusion by Jean Baudrillard: "Together with the demise of the secret, this hyper-visibility is our fatal condition. Television and the media have left their mediatized spaces to invest 'real' life from the inside and to substitute themselves for it exactly as a virus does in a normal cell; the virtual camera is now in our head and our entire existence has taken on a video dimension; we have internalized our prosthetic image and become the professional showmasters of our own lives. But if everything starts and ends with the visual, which is the most degraded form of existence, the point remains to make such extreme disenchantment an object of sideration and perverse desire. So why not propose a reversed hypothesis, opposed to voyeurism and collective stupidity? Why not suggest that what we all want is just to gain the sense that there is nothing to see, that we'll never get the final clue? And this only to verify a contrario the ultimate power of seduction, tracked down unto death in the succession of lifted veils. There is no reality principle or pleasure principle. There is only a finite principle of reconciliation and an infinite principle of Evil and Seduction."
