Again it is the image that has suffered. These are all no longer images in any traditional sense. Not the collage of flat digitality, deep digitality is para-photographic, more sculpture or theater than anything else. Or like music, perhaps, with its penchant for multiple voices. The prison is now reversed, a reverse panopticon in which a multiplicity of watchers all collaborate to convene upon a singular point. On this score, anyone who says the contemporary world is a vast panopticon has the facts of the matter 
exactly backward. The cybernetic world may be a control society, but it is a reverse panopticon, not a panopticon as classically conceived. The condition of cellularity is now subjective not objective. In other words, within deep digitality the subject is cellular (the watcher), whereas within flat digitality the object is cellular (the watched). The object is now a Euclidean point, while the “subjective” points of view have metastasized into multiplicity. What this produces is a curvature of space. Space bends and recedes. Space grows deep as the subject metastasizes and engulfs it.
