Leaking Bodies (Hedone #2 — Technology)
Susana Rocha
"O prazer é frequentemente entendido como algo positivo, não é? O prazer traz-nos alegria, felicidade e tranquilidade. Mas alguns prazeres podem ser mórbidos, masoquistas, melancólicos... e há beleza nisso. A tecnologia funciona, nesse sentido, como um excelente suporte para, por exemplo, a nossa memória. Oferece-nos estímulos e arquivos, permitindo-nos aceder a memórias e experiências de uma forma que antes era impossível. Existe, por exemplo, um prazer na recordação que pode ser profundamente gratificante."

“Pleasure is often seen as something positive, isn’t it? The pleasure brings us joy, happiness, and relaxation. But some pleasures can be morbid, masochistic, melancholic... and there’s beauty in that. Technology functions, in this sense, as an excellent support for, for example, our memory. It offers us triggers and archives, allowing us to access memories and experiences in a way that was previously impossible. There is, for example, a pleasure in remembering that can be very rewarding.”
