Harnessed to new technological assemblages and driven by processing imperatives, machine-images track movements as representation. Tracking is the way in which one sees and is seen by the image. Such a body, whether in flesh or networked mode, incorporates fitness as the erasure of any threat to efficient, fast, and reliable flows. A movement constituted through patterns of repetition, enmeshed in circuits, harnessed to social and technical machines. In either case, counting equals accounting for , and the body is formatted through arrays of variables and calculations.
Movement configures as a kind of statistical articulation.
As individuals and groups are processed, the public configures as a calculus of manageable interests, opinions, patterns, and functions. A marker of speech and presence, a way in which the public is heard and made visible. They are like free-weights or the fitness calculators that interface body and machine and measure their compatibility, often resulting in the body's rates to be adjusted in accordance with prevailing fitness norms. The interface always points to such a device, as it traffics between motivations and mobilities. Through them, private and public realms, behaviors and built realities, exchange, encode, and format one another.
