This book outlines a new conception of the cyborg in terms of
consciousness as the parallax gap between physical and digital
worlds. The contemporary subject constructs its own internal
reality in the interplay of the Virtual and the Real.
Reinterpreting the work of Slavoj Zizek and Gilles Deleuze in terms
of the psychological and ontological construction of the digital,
alongside the philosophy of quantum physics, this book offers a
challenge to materialist perspectives in the fluid cyberspace that
is ever permeating our lives. The inclusion of the subject in its
own epistemological framework establishes a model for an engaged
spectatorship of reality. Through the analysis of online media,
digital art, avatars, computer games and science fiction, a new
model of cyborg culture reveals the opportunities for critical and
creative interventions in the contemporary subjective experience,
promoting an awareness of the parallax position we all occupy
between physical and digital worlds.
