In a century of technological acceleration, we have reached a strange new plateau in the human condition. Advanced technologies are dramatically reshaping the way we perceive and interact with our environments. The Virtual Dimension critically examines the rote that digital and immersive technologies have on the methods used by architects, designers, and artists to conceptualize and represent both real and virtual spaces. Interdisciplinary in nature, the essays included here address the implications of "going virtual" from a variety of cultural and theoretical viewpoints. Over thirty leading architects, urban theorists, philosophers, scientists, and cultural critics have contributed to this collection, which includes essays and projects by Stan Allen, Peter Anders, Asymptote, Erica Baum, Gareth Branwyn, Bernard Cache, Char Davies, Manuel De Landa, Frances Dyson, Michael Heim, Knowbotic Research, Brian Massumi, William J. Mitchell, Hans Moravec, Stephen Perrella, Florian Rdetzer, Andreas Ruby, Vivian Sobchack, Michael Speaks, Claudia Springer, Lars Spuybroek, Stelarc, Stahl Stenslie, Arne Svenson, Mark C. Taylor, Matthew Aaron Taylor, Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, Paul Virilio, and Margaret Wertheim.
