Abstract

From the Publisher:In a century immersed in technological acceleration, we have reached a strange new plateau in the human condition. Advanced technologies are dramatically reshaping the way we perceive and interact with our physical environments. The Virtual Dimension critically examines the role that digital and immersive technologies have on the methods used by architects, designers, and artists to conceptualize and represent both real and virtual spaces. Interdiscplinary in nature, the essays included here address the implications of 'going virtual' from a variety of cultural and theoretical viewpoints. Over thirty leading architects, urban theorists, philosophers, scientists, and cultural critics have contributed to this collection, which include essays and projects by the following: Stan Allen Peter Anders Asymptote Erica Baum Gareth Branwyn Bernard Cache Char Davies Manuel De Landa Frances Dyson Michael Heim Knowbotic Research Brian Massumi William J. Mitchell Hans Moravec NOX Architects Stephen Perrella Florian R梅etzer Andreas Ruby Vivian Sobchack Michael A. Speaks Claudia Springer Stelarc Arne Svenson Mark C.
