In recent years, the Internet and other information technologies have transformed many fundamental parts of life. The ubiquity of digital data storage, computation, and telecommunication have made us profoundly dependent on computer network whether we realize it or not, enveloping society in what might be termed a 'digital culture. To this extend, this paper is an interrogation into the phenomenon of rapidly developed cyberspace in the age of digital culture. The paper proposes a new way of seeing in light of Maurice Merleau-Pontian Phenomenology to examine the culture of virtual reality. The paper argues that the humankind creates a virtual world in its relationship to what may perceive as part of real. By establishing a new concept of 'cyberworld,' the author examines the embodied relations of virtual technology and bodily perception. This new embodied status of virtual culture, 'cyberworld,' itself has become a part of our daily lives. |
