Daft Punk on image

If we have to create an image, it must be an artificial image. That combination hides our physicality and also shows our view of the star system. It is not a compromise. - Thomas Bangalter.

I just discovered this quote, and it very much appeals to me.  It strikes me as being analogous to the way that we craft our identities in virtual spaces.   If only were as flawless in the meat world as the avatars that we create for ourselves are.  Crafting an image internally seems much easier than instantiating it is.
