The Virtual of Reality

Today, the reality we know can be recorded and reproduced true to reality using technical processes. Space and time are recreated virtually as a copy in artificial reality. However, the reproduction of virtual reality is not limited to a mere copy of what exists. A visitor to the virtual space does not have to be content with the pixelated image of the old familiar, but can encounter unreal phenomena in the illusory world that never existed in real life or are even physically impossible. This enables an expansion of the recorded reality and allows the perception of surprisingly new perspectives.

"Simulacrum: Exploring the Possibility of a Simulated Reality" is a thought-provoking journey into the idea that our reality may be nothing more than a computer-generated simulation.

A leading philosopher takes a mind-bending journey through virtual worlds, illuminating the nature of reality and our place within it.
