DIODATO, Roberto. The virtual body-environment. Perspectiva [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.1, pp.23-38.  Epub July 18, 2019. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795x.2019.e53021.

Nowadays “Lebenswelt” must be considered as a mediatic environment or simply a medium, a continent/device inhabited by new digital technology that makes the fabric of the world, on the whole, a communication source. The article specifically examins the virtual body/environment, an aspect of Lebenswelt, which has still to reach its full potential, but will increasingly continue to influence our lifestyle. The virtual body/environment is a new entity immersive and interactive, ontologically hybrid because it is internal and external, and both a thing and an image. The article focuses on same forms of art that allow the possibility to live the virtual body/environment in a non passive way.

Keywords : Aesthetic of the virtual; Virtual body-environment; Digital art; Interactivity.
