The body is active, perceiving, perceptible and vital and all those aspects are fixed in one and the same place, which is itself what we call the body. “The body” is the name of this immediate and seemingly indissoluble synthesis of those four dimensions or aspects of experience, which call out to one another and which, quite literally, march together. It is this immediate unity that tele-technologies radically undo, appending to the immediate synthesis another one, a technical synthesis that radically reconstructs the relations between those four aspects. They used to be linked, but now some have become independent, dissociated. The body has become dismantled and, in a partial reproduction of an organic body, it is possible to dissociate elements that the body, in its immediate unity, used to associate.
