The cybernetic posthuman lives like a spider at the center of a web, presiding over a vast net(work) of gadgets, interfaces and sensors. The smartphone operates like an organ, extending the limits of the body beyond the skin like an eye on the back of our head. In this economy, the body has little choice but to invest in these asomatic capacities, as a matter of survival from the pauperizing maw of technocapital; in order to resist the vertiginous precipice of precarity, communication is replaced by extraction, as the drills are turned towards our brains.

Under this enigmatic title, Christian Nirvana Damato’s first major work is an original philosophical manifesto that approaches the subject, desire, and identity from the perspective of media theory, visual culture and phenomenology. 

“Media bombard us with speculations about how artificial intelligence will affect our lives, asserting itself as an alien power. Instead of merely extending our bodily organs and technological machines to serve us—making our lives less stressful and more satisfying—it will effectively regulate and dominate even our innermost feelings and desires. Surprisingly, although we believe we live in an era of sexual permissiveness, there are far fewer texts on the “transformations of sociality and sexuality in relation to digital technology,” i.e., on “the ways in which devices and platforms influence and produce normative systems capable of changing the way we perceive, desire, and relate to others”. Christian Damato’s Multiplication of Organs—Body, Technology, Identity, Desire addresses precisely this topic in all its dimensions, from fascinating analyses of wearable technologies to broader implications of digisexuality.” — Slavoj Žižek
