"Together with the demise of the secret, this hyper-visibility is our fatal condition. If everything starts and ends with the visual - which is the most degraded form of existence - the point remains to make such extreme disenchantment an object of sidereal contemplation and of perverse desire. So why not propose a reverse hypothesis, opposed to voyeurism and collective retardation? Why not suggest that what we all want is just to gain the sense that there is nothing to see, that we'll never get the final clue? And this only to verify a contrario the ultimate power of seduction, tracked down unto death in the succession of lifted veils. There is no principle of reality nor of pleasure. There is only a finite principle of reconciliation and an infinite principle of Evil and Seduction." ~ Baudrillard, Dust Breeding & Fatal Strategies
