Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

Through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
That gathers on the pane in empty rooms.”
