| summary |
Space is perceived by cognitive operations in which particular
elements are assigned spatial significance. Such operations are relatively similar
to digitalization processes. An element’s attributes are translated to numerical
data according to measuring systems and scales, so that they can be evaluated
comparatively. Similarly, elements of the given world are perceptible as sensory
stimulations that are registered to the sensory organs and then translated to data,
which is comparable to the data of other elements. Sensory stimulators may
derive from any element that is registered to the sensory organs, even those
which we call as “virtual”, “artificial” and “fake,” for example the elements that
are rendered digitally in the computer. With such a premise, the paper examines
how such elements may also contribute in the formation of spatial perception.
Consequently, the meaning as well as our common interaction with space is
contested, along with the limits of reality itself.
