bodies in code (Mark Hansen)

p21 "originary technical basis of embodied experience"


the reimagining  of VR as a mixed reality differs from earlier concept of virtual reality
1) representionism vs  perceptuomotor activity
   
p.4 representationist fantasy
     such a break (with natural perception) "grants cinema the capacity to present the world from a nonhuman perspective and thus opens a properly autonomous machinism; by contrast, the functional homology linking virtual reality technologies with natural perception supports a prosthetics that functions to expand the scope of natural perception, to tap the technics at its core. "
p5 "Bluntly put, the new mixed reality paradigm foregrounds the constitutive or ontological role of the body in giving birth to the world."
