Our surrounding structures having the aspects of a digital environment would mean that we would experience continuos moments when both the illusion and the real are joined. As a result, simulation of the digital experiences would be achieved in a physical environment. In much the same way, even the patterns created by our spatial practice could have more potential than merely adding textures to the space that our body occupies. For generations, many have been deeply interested in how people’s spatial practice influenced the space.
Michel de Certeau’s work, ‘The Practice of Everyday Life,’ introduces an idea of how an operation in space, such as walking in the city could change the cityscape by making traces of figures that could be realized as a forest of gestures. Equally, the perception of understanding people’s movement as part of the space could be experienced through film and animation that consists of the simultaneous transfiguration of the body and space. In some scenes of ‘Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance,’ a film directed by Godfrey Reggio, the movements of cars, shopping carts, and other practices in modern life are accelerated allowing the viewers to see the world changing its shape through the spatial texture created by people’s behavior.
