Introduction

Today everybody is talking about virtual reality, but I think frankly the virtual reality is a rather miserable idea. It simply means let us reproduce in an artificial digital medium our experience of reality. We have to put it in simple terms, imaginary virtual, symbolic virtual and real virtual. And then this idealization is crucial. The negative proof would have been letters between James Joyce and his wife Nora where they went very, very far into accepting each other in the vulgar reality of bodies.
