"Bodies in Code "explores how our bodies experience and adapt to
digital environments. Cyberculture theorists have tended to
overlook biological reality when talking about virtual reality, and
Mark B. N. Hansen's book shows what they've been missing.
Cyberspace is anchored in the body, he argues, and it's the
body--not high-tech computer graphics--that allows a person to feel
like they are really "moving" through virtual reality. Of course
these virtual experiences are also profoundly affecting our very
understanding of what it means to live as embodied beings.
Hansen draws upon recent work in visual culture, cognitive science,
and new media studies, as well as examples of computer graphics,
websites, and new media art, to show how our bodies are in some
ways already becoming virtual.
