information from photons using your eye. This will open up new forms of
artful expression, and a new medium that is not based in sight, sound,
touch, taste or smell. Perhaps you could directly send states of mind,
perspectives or emotions for others to experience.


To sense the internet would require a permanently wired connection.
Big Brother will know exactly where you are and what you are doing at
every moment of the day (and what you dream about as well!).

For a lot of people this is already true (cellphones, blackberries,
PDAs, GPS devices, etc.)
