My question remains: what does "distributed" or even "disturbed" or "displaced" presence mean when what constitutes the self is an ongoing act of experience in time and place? The disconnect is for me still much too large, and replaces the self with what is much to clearly just a place-holder existing in the midst of a lot of technology. Until that technology reaches the ability to be the invisible flower of Benjamin's film technology,

I remain oh so skeptical of semiotics without embodiment.
