We know that 60 percent of the people on this Earth have not even
made a phone call in their life. But still, 30 percent of us live
in a digitalised universe that is artificially constructed,
manipulated and no longer some natural or traditional one.
At all levels of our life we seem to live more and more with
the thing deprived of its substance. You get beer without alcohol,
meat without fat, coffee without caffeine...and even virtual
sex without sex.
Virtual reality to me is the climax of this process.
