[-empyre-] vigilar y castigar

[De wraak van Baltassar Geraards]

The answer to your question:

"Does this connote a force of seeing which is agonistic, a will to  
see, or grow eyes, to contrast to the representation of the Netopticon?"

is surprisely simple:

No!, it is just another subversion of the mighty new media mob,  
disguised as political correct, contemporary popular cultural  
analysis, not properly making the distinction between 'art' and media.

Forget those empty words of McLuhan!

"The Medium is Not  the Message!"
