Paul Virillio The overexposed city

After reading Paul Virillio's article, I was instantly reminded of my first semesters studio project. I was studying seams, specifically the seam between reality and virtual reality. I was constantly reminded to play with this boundary and expolore the potentials that it could provide my project. What I found most interesting was this contrast between these two worlds. My major study was to investigate if it would be possible to blurr the line between the two. I think Virillo discusses the idea of the two as separate things but doesn't deeply discuss the blurring of the two. If you think about it, life is a mixed recipe of many different types of realities. My computer screen showing me typing words in a space that I cannot occupy, my cell phone carrying my voice through a world I also can never go. And even more interesting might be the switch from reality to virtual reality and back again to reality. An example would be talking on a video phone. Your world, the reality your in, looking into a virtual world, the video screen and the world revealed to you that is someone elses reality.
