Synopsis

Where is Cyberspace? Can we feel him, smell, walk through - does he have a sensual correlate in the material world? As real, worldly space, physical soil in the 21st century threatens to become scarcer due to progressive urbanization, climatic changes, and exploitation of resources, the virtual world is expanding at blazing speed. More and more people become a dissociative being: with their head in the data glasses and their feet in nowhere. But what remains when physical experience is displaced by simulations, experienced reality is increasingly dissolved in the data irvana? How can the seemingly dematerialized person locate himself in the future? Ralf Hanselle designs in his essay a picture of the condition humana of the upcoming Homo digitalis.
