By contrast, in the digital or, more generally, the computer ¬generated image there is no longer any negative, no longer anything 'deferred'. In that image, nothing dies, nothing disap¬pears. The image is merely the product of an instruction and a programme, aggravated by automatic dissemination from one medium to the other: computer, mobile phone, television, screen, etc. - the automaticity of the network matching the automaticity of the construction of the image. Should we, then, rescue absence and emptiness, should we rescue this nothingness at the heart of the image?
