This night when I am sitting infront of the screen I started to think that
every
hour I spend here is an hour that I could have spent in the 'real' world
spaces.
But what kind of 'reality' could replace seductive netspace? I could read
a book and think about event horizon, I could sleep and see fascinating
dreams,
I could masturbate and have amusing fantasies, I could watch movies and be
caught
by sweet fear. It is possible to 'implemente' into various world spaces by
using
different tools. I wonder to know why virtual space is so attractive to get
me wired,
how it effects me and what are exact differences and similarities between
'traditional'
representation of spatiality (in the picture, installation, photography)
and
cyberspace.
