Interesting item looking at the mediation of machines in the body's perception of the world. I agree with this: "A body has a matrix of meaning imprinted on it from the external world, which influences all its behavior, even on a neurological level." But I don't agree with what follows: "The interface: man-machine, erases perceptual meaning, revitalizing a body long considered in err, and ruled by rationality." The machine mediates, it does not erase. It amplifies, filters, abstracts. It becomes a part of the body, not obviating our innate capacities but rather extending them.
