The Era of Personal Screen “Multiplication”: Changing the Perception of Space and Time
https://doi.org/10.25281/2072-3156-2017-14-4-396-403
Abstract
The author of the following article analyses the changes in aesthetic perception, happening in the context of the new stage in the evolution of media culture, connected with the “multiplication” of personal screens. The state of symbiosis with virtual reality is determined by the concept of “polyontism”, implying the coexistence of several equivalent realities, which gives rise to a sense of mixed reality. The phenomenon of mixed reality includes, in the first place, the destruction of boundaries between the real world and the virtual one, which, of course, affects the character of reality perception, way of thinking and self-consciousness. The contemporary cultural type of symbiosis with virtual reality changes the perception of all basic characteristics of being — space and time. On the examples of contemporary art, the author analyzes those changes. The hyper-realistic approach to the images created by means of various technologies can be considered today as a general trend in art, reflecting the changes in the perception of space and physicality under the influence of the phenomenon of mixed reality. The absence of night and the symbolization of death in virtual reality determine the electronic chronotope, where time becomes space in any place of which you can always go back.
