Science and technology have had a profound effect on the way humans
perceive space and time. In this book an international team of
authors explore themes of depth and surface, of real and conceptual
space and of human/machine interaction. The collection is organized
around the concept of Technospace - the temporal realm where
technology meets human practice. In exploring this intersection the
contributors initiate debate on a number of important conceptual
questions: is there a clear distinction between the "real" space of
the body or with city and the conceptual space of "virtual"
reality?; how are the real and metaphorical space of electronic
cultures quantified and regulated?; and is there an ethics of
technospace? Historically the reception of new technologies has
been invested with romantic idealism on the one hand and panic on
the other. The authors argue that in order for utopian dreams to be
tempered by ethical, humanistic needs, we have an urgent need to
reveal, reflect upon and evaluate technospace and our relationship
to it.
