Note

• On the cinematic physical virtuosity of the current film industry exemplied by films such as "Matrix" and "Spiderman". Cyberspace is a place where the imperfect body can be artificially optimised to become almost god-like. However, the virtuoso hyperbody is but a consumer dream, whereas the live, thinking body is real and may be a future tool, or virus, to fight against the cultural stranglehold of the film spectacle.
