Avoiding to fall into the mass psychological hysterical readings of the always bad and dangerous influence of the TV to generations of viewers, let try to establish an almost heretical interpretation of the event. We can say that the TV epilepsy-like illnesses attack brought back to a mass of Japenese TV viewers the reality of their physical bodies. With Pokemon's hysterical and cataleptic-like suffering body we witness a reaction, a disobedience, of , the until now, immobile, frozen body in relation to the image and societal relationship. Hysteria was recognized as an illness only through making, by photograph, visible the woman's hysterical body. On the other side, Pokemon allows us to discuss also the idea of total visibility that is constantly produced by the mass media.
Total visibility is just media-processed, it is a construction.
In reality we have, as Peter Weibel once noted, zones of visibility and zones of invisibility. The Pockemon Cataleptic Tuesday event, Pockemon has been aired every Tuesday since April 1997, did not only bring us to the core of the process of representation and to the so called zero point of representation in relation to the physical body, but is an almost psychotical appearence of these, by mass media, constantly hidden zones of invisibility.
