Abstract

We confront a new reality today.

This reality is that of the image merged with its surroundings, erasing distinctions between the virtual and the actual.

It is the virtuality of the past which shows up in the present. Of the deceased who appear and speak to the living. Of virtual humans who do not exist, but appear alive. The simulacra that has collapsed into the real.

This reality is The New Virtuality.
