"Eisenstein's authoritatrianism, demonstrated in his dream to control over the viewer's processes of conceptualization and emotion, does not extend to the removal of the artist's body from the process of art production. If you do this, ten you get merely assemblages, mechanical organisms. And yet, that is precisely what digital imagery promises us: not just the liberation of the image from its connection with 'nature,' with the physical world, but the removal of all traces of the body in favor of the protocols controlled through comptuer codes and software packages." p. 23
