The document discusses the temporality of spaces and how media and screens have influenced our perception of spatiality. It explores how screens have led to disembodiment and the reconstruction of identity through "digitembodiment". Networks are generating new spatial and social structures as simulations and abstractions. However, locative media and ubiquitous computing are bringing the digital back into our physical experience through "re-embodiment". The document calls for an updated approach of "pragmatic idealism" or "ecosophy" to resolve tensions between progress and ethics in this context.

a shift away from earth — toward ether and IDEALS of media domesticity

21. ENTER THE SCREEN & START DISEMBODIMENT*

22. ENTER THE SCREEN & START DISEMBODIMENT*

23. SCREEN > SURFACE
a thin layer that contains & DOES everything
>
WIRED»

24. SCREEN > THING of things
a thin layer that contains & does everything
interface as map for people places and things
> toward social media urbanity
IBM»

25. SCREEN > NON-SPACE
disembodiment also means non-space > NEO-SPACE
new sets of time/space structures
digital horizons > digital perspectives

26. SCREEN > INTERFACE
a thin layer that contains everything
interface as reality map
we leave ourselves out (disembodiment)
we reconstruct ourselves (digitembodiment)

27. SCREEN > RE-EMBODIMENT (virtual)
accelerated by digitembodiment
the virtual physicality of 3Dworlds, avatars, etc
displacement of space
>

28. SCREEN > NETWORKS
networks are self-generative spaces
social structures: redefining identities & collectivities
spatial structures: simulations & abstractions

29. BEYOND SCREEN > RE-EMBODIMENT (physical)
beyond the screen with locative media, ubicomp, etc
the digital meets us in our physicality

30. IDEALISM TODAY = ECOSOPHY
»resolve the tensions between progress & ethics
»update design to filter mediaXinformation

31. - culture of idealism > screen as utopia
- the computer doesn’t just sit there IT DICTATES
- disembodiment > digitembodiment & immaterial
- times of augmented/distributed challenges
- re-embodiment > rematerial > AEROTOPIA
- beyond PEOPLE, SPACES & SCREENS
- SO “where/what next?” >> pragmatic idealism
