“The virtual, the pressing crowd of incipiencies and tendencies, is a realm of potential. In potential is where futurity combines, unmediated, with pastness, where outsides are infolded and sadness is happy … The virtual is a lived paradox where what are normally opposites coexist, coalesce, and connect.”
—Brian Massumi,
