Towards an Astrophysical Cyberspace: The Evolution of User Interfaces
“The design of cyberspace is, after all, the design of another life-world, a parallel universe, offering the intoxicating prospect of actually fulfulling – with a technology very nearly achieved – a dream thousands of years old: the dream of transcending the physical world, fully alive, at will, to dwell in some Beyond – to be empowered or enlightened there, alone or with others, and to return” – Michael Benedikt, 1991 (Bolter/Grusin 1999:182).
