ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a reading of existing accounts which acknowledged the observation of the screen and examined it as a newly inscribed element of architecture. In addition, it presents the unique case of Paul Virilio who predicted the screen's emergence and theorized on its spatial and representational implications. The chapter introduces key notions and Lacanian concepts to position the study of the screen like suture, mirror stage and reality effect in relation to three-dimensional space and two-dimensional images and illustrates them accordingly.
