Neither are the machines of desire imaginary projections, fantasies, nor real projections, tools. The entire projection-system, however, can be derived from machines, but not the other way around. Should the desire-machines accordingly be defined through a form of interjection, a certain perverse use of the machines? Let us take an example from an hidden aspect of the telephone network: by calling the number of a telephone which is unattended but connected to an answering machine ("There is no one presently available to answer your call"), one can hear a tangle of humming, layered voices, voices that call each other, answer each other, that cross and loose each other, that run on top of or under the answering machine, or in its insides, very short messages, statements formulated in quick and monotone codes.
