2. 2. HOW THESE CODES WORK
The attempt to understand our crisis by proposing a genetic explanation of the new codes that surround us is, of course, quite insufficient. It will now be complemented by what can be called a functional explanation. No longer will it be asked, how did the code of technical images come about? but rather, how does it work in the context of our codified world? This implies a shift in the point of view with regard to the crisis. It is no longer seen as an external, political event but as a rupture in our inner program, a crisis of consciousness, or, as one now says, an identity crisis. Because if one considers what is going on from a historical point of view (as did Chapter 1), the three codes (image, line, technical image) seem to follow diachronically one from the other. But if one considers what is going on from a functional point of view, the three codes are seen to be simultaneous within our program, and the problem is how to synchronize them.
