This research aims to know how the image of sexuality displayed within space miniaturization of cyber video chat Camfrog, in Indonesia. it also investigates how far the practices of power (domination) are enabled to present on the discourse of cybersex space of video chat camfrog. The researchs tries as well to reinvestigate the concept of resistance in the recent cyber society. More specifically it focuses on the progress of the technology of information through cybercultural studies approach, which is a non-essentialist critical effort of the writer, namely by charging the essentialism view of the science, such as on the studies of psychiatry-medic, law science until religion approach (moralist) who asses cybersex as a form of deviation. Those categories will drive to a knowledge that reduces whole aspects of social and culture of society to sink in mudhole of essential certainties that human are subjugated by the power of nature absolutism. Theoretical offer that writer proposes is trying to trace and investigate series of problems on ideology of power. That the progress of technology of information actually is a dialectic of power which in reality shows a number of new problems. In example, the fading limits of real social life by miniaturization of cyber space, machine power over body, and capital domination over information. The research is not in the area that sees category of �form and content� or gets dissolved only to �defend� cultural and economic behavior played by Camfrog user within the glorified freedom of information to be different, rather than being as a face of repression. In this study, that would be a crisis of �status quo� that has to be taken down as it suffers from acute establishment. Therefore, writer�s position is not only trying to advocate anything looks �different�, radical, or supersive�, instead it goes further by dismantling how the tools of technology (camfrog) suspected as a sthrengtened practices of power. This research uses the combination of number of theories mainly by Jean Baudrillard on simulation theory in the world miniaturization via cyberspace and Foucault on powerrelation discipline of technology which summarized in the History Of Sexuality. It also uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a method of analyzing. As for the object of research is taken from three Camfrog rooms in Indonesia,Makassar Free Action, Borneo Party Show, and Surabaya Bergoyang/bergetar. The research finds that Camfrog has created space of image of sexuality within the construction of miniature virtual room. On that sort of simulation space, a number of virtual digital image tools operate to play its each role,namely by creating the miniature of �space� as a medium of sex manipulation and exploitation through giant mirror (Camfrog) which forces every person inside it to become the obedient subject over capital power, subjugating their desire to endless consumptive passion over the products of technology of information.
