Media and Revolt
The Virtual Image Technology, Media, and Construction of the Visual Reality
We are experiencing a passage from the mostly representational function of images (the traditional media of photography, cinematography, television) to constructed images made with new technologies, especially computer graphics and virtual reality.

With virtual reality th…
