As discussed in class, very often, a good solid question is as valuable as any answer we may provide. Such questions should serve as the foundation for any exploration into any topic; thus, to begin preparing for our first essay assignment, I want you all to come up with one thoughtful, probing question for each of the following readings:

Assigned readings:• Anne Balsamo, “The Virtual Body in Cyberspace” (CR 489)
• Allucquère Rosanne Stone, “Will the Real Body Please Stand Up? Boundary Stories About Virtual Cultures,” (CR 504)
• “The Electronic Disturbance: Critical Art Ensemble,” originally published by Autonomedia (part 4 of 7); includes “Case 43” from the Notebooks of Jacques Lacan

Post your questions here and indicate which reading you are asking a question of. Also, if you have any questions or become confused at any point, email me.
