ABSTRACT

Films, video games, Internet art, and cellular phone conversations are all virtual experiences in the quotidian sense. These frequent and familiar experiences are distinguished by a displacement of consciousness to a space apart from one’s immediate physical surroundings. Psychological studies on narrative and dream formation have consistently shown that all humans construct concepts, this being an inherent and not an acquired characteristic. The design process is relative and subjective, dynamic and interactive. Transformations figure prominently in emergent digital processes. In a further explication of field dynamics, is it necessary to recontextualize not only space but also time, in order to deconstruct the myth of causality and understand emergent forces. First, there must be a distinction between the concept of time and the experience of time. Historically, timekeeping originated with tracing natural phenomena and this was later followed by mechanical devices that measured time.
