Passive to-be-looked-at-ness / "The incarnated beauty. Between the painting and the pornography" by Silvia Mei
"A virtual desert. Reddish dust and sandstone, a cloudless blue sky. The sun hangs high over a far-away chain of mesas. A black window opens. Close-up of a sleeping face. I wake up and see a face watching me from very nearby." From Liesl Ujvary
101 TRUE INTERNET LOVE STORIES, Collected and edited by Andrea Wesselenyi
"What does it extend?" / "What does it make obsolete?" / "What is retrieved?" / "What does it reverse into if it is over-extended?", A stripped down version of tetrad by Marshall McLuhan
