As Derrida points out, the frame is also part of the picture (despite Kant's best efforts to the contrary).
At the gigantic, uncanny scale of the internet, electronic communication initiates countless points and movements, sliding over the representational scenery without being reduced to the sequence of its particularity. Still, electronic communication still has to sweep along all the bad old functions of metaphysical thinking for local uses. The pervasive proximity of electronic communication races beyond any phenomenology of things or texts. It is not even a matter of forms and contents - that fine old Platonic division - since internet-as-Enframing remains indifferent to what it transmits or represents, operating only according to what it could transmit or represent, which is everything and nothing. The most potent device of Enframing is literally the frame: the gesture of bracketing which makes something seen at the expense of everything else (G.Bennington).
