The physical identity of a being doesn't consist in a
matter by which it is composed (...). The individuality of body is its
flame more than its stone, its form more than a fragment of the matter.
(Breton 1992: 48)
Abstract:
Digital world has brought to us the possibility of
creating alternatives in the communication process by establishing several
levels of interactive relationships. Thinking of the possibility of memory
being able to be in a space in a virtual environment inspires the
reflexions in this paper. The axis of this reflexions could be synthetized
as follows: digital supports of hypermedia start configuring a new notion
of space; signs created by human being in imaginary sequences have been
transformed into hypertextual texts that
bring out our ability of
virtually migrating among materiality which this world has been presenting
to us by unfolding of its phenomena into another fields of our perception
conquering new places which has been characterized as virtual
environments. This virtual migration has been being possible by the poetic
exercise in digital supports. This process of Virtual Migration on the
Cyberspace goes beyond what any other human experience has experimented.
It is a language in the limit of applicability which tests our level of
interactivity on the point of cognitive, perspective and interventionist
view, and it brings to people the possibility of becoming a place in
transit, carrying a script in which the limit will still be in charge of
the language.
