[  The Real  Virtual Living  ] - Kieran Nolan - Lecturer and researcher with the Music and Creative Media Department at Dundalk Institute of Technology - Human Computer Interaction - Games Interface Design - Tangible Interface Development
[  The Real  Virtual Living  ] ...posthuman creativity is already taking place,  rather than solely existing in the domain of a  biomechanical cyberpunk dream. The posthuman aesthetic conceived in science fiction and nurtured online is now very real and tangible.

"He'd operated on an almost permanent adrenaline high, a byproduct of youth and proficiency, jacked into a custom cyberspace deck that projected his disembodied consciousness into the consensual hallucination that was the matrix." (Gibson 1984) [  The Real  Virtual Living  ] Cyber Future / Reality   > The Augmented Human > Posthuman Creativity > Conclusion
Gibson presents a typical cyberpunk vision. A future world where people lead dual lives augmented by technology.  They achieve this by 'jacking in', connecting their brain via to a network cable By doing so they become part on an alternate reality, free from the physical limitations of the 'real world'.

[  The Real  Virtual Living  ] Cyber Future / Reality   > The Augmented Human > Posthuman Creativity > Conclusion “ The important things in human life -- sex, technology, hedonism, and the peaceful exploration of inner and outer space -- these would occupy most of our time as a new Golden Age dawned for humanity. No matter where you went, you would find millions of groovy freaks boogying down, partying hearty, and tossing off symphonies, rocketship designs, and cures for cancer as freely as a tree drops fruit. Human civilization would have truly begun....”

[  The Real  Virtual Living  ] Everyone has been bombarded with media. We’ve almost been forced to use it as an art form. It’s like anything. If people were handing out paint for free on the streets, I’m sure there would be a lot more painters right now.”  (Gillis 2007) Cyber Future / Reality > The Augmented Human >  Posthuman Creativity  > Conclusion

“ The researchers suggest a future version of this technology could be applied in the fields of art and design ― particularly if it becomes possible to quickly and accurately access images existing inside an artist’s head.” (Chunichi 2008) [  The Real  Virtual Living  ] Cyber Future / Reality > The Augmented Human > Posthuman Creativity >  Conclusion
The disembodied conscience of  Gibson’s fictional writings may  become a literal tool of posthuman  creativity after all. Science fiction eventually becomes science fact. [  The Real  Virtual Living  ] Cyber Future / Reality > The Augmented Human > Posthuman Creativity >  Conclusion
