“Life is complex. Movement and multiplicity make it so. There is no way to define it, to study it, to abstract it. The only way we can know life is through experience. Complex systems can only be experienced in movement .

Complex systems, such as a city, have to be understood in their multidimensionality and in their dynamics. The more dimensions a space links together, the richest it becomes.

An airport links multiple realities together yet, paradoxically, it also concentrates and unifies them. It is the extension of a dominant reality. Colonization is the imposition of one way over any other. © is dead Movement is life and life is movement. There is nothing on earth that is not animated by movement. Even the oldest stone is in movement, it is only a question of scale.

Movement is the essence of nomadic life. Nomads do not try to resist the movement, to domestify life or to stop time. Nomads go with the flows, live the moment, in the movement.

“Movement commands the events”, says Virilio. There is no way to master the movement in its multidimensionality, any attempt to do so will only create non-events, sameness at another speed. Nomads naturally resist any authority that undermines their freedom of movement. The sedentary naturally represses his nomadic tendencies because they bring instability. Nomadism undermines the structural stability of sedentary society.” http://www.nomadology.com/ “virtuality describes the totality of effects and mutations brought about by the information and communications network.2 In this definition, virtuality designates not only whatever happens on, or is generated by, the Internet but also includes the impact of the media on the way in which we apprehend, represent and consequently build the world around us. For most theorists, the role virtuality plays is so extended that it disables us from distinguishing between perception and representation, original and copy. In virtual space, so the claim goes, objects do not appear as self-contained entities, accessible via sensory perception, but rather emerge as irreducibly represented and reproduced. It is the peculiar effect of mediatized technology to fabricate events as "simulacra." 3” (Giovanna Borradori) I think v.r. is more about not re-representing reality but presenting unreality, the unachievable and unattainable pursuits that we cannot achieve in this material state. It presents them in a ‘simulacra’ state so we can understand and relate to the potential space
