  | New media, what we make with it, depends on such values. Thus it is that we see in its artifacts the ways in which artists have attempted to make it tactile. As we have seen, the metaphors of memory have historically involved mechanisms operated with the hands, or at least experienced bodily. There is an irony in that we try to construct this sense of memory by way of a medium we also regard as destructive of memory, of the tradition of the analog bases for memory. Thus it is that we attempt to enlist analogy in an attempt to save it. This is perhaps not new. It seems constitutive of the history of our resistance to the destructive aspects of technology. But do we also resist acknowledging our dependence on technology? |
