Document Summary
The ability to take on a persona of your choice. Our bodily selves no longer define us. Steganography is about concealing information by spreading it throughout other information (william gibson, pattern recognition) One in which you"re delivering a message and hiding the fact that there is a message at all. You need to recognize that there is a message and the key to decode it unlike cryptic messages. These digital capacities allow us to manipulate the data that constitute these messages. * compare to last week"s consideration of the body and subjectivity. A dividual is a physical embodied human subject that is endlessly divisible and reducible to data representations via the modern technologies of control, like computer-based systems (williams 2005) It is a stimulation of itself in that it is constantly modulating or responding to different expectations for productivity, consumption and political conduct (packer 2006:390)
