Summary
Far from needing reality to prove it, images in the digital age can create reality on their own. On the one hand, we keep losing the embodied experience of perceiving and understanding the real society, and on the other hand, we keep falling into the perceptual hallucinations of various virtual situations. This anxiety about perceptual ruptures and hallucinations in the digital age is deeply entangled with images. The present situation is as poet Paul Valery said, that the past has not been destroyed and forgotten, from which we can derive almost nothing to guide us in the present or allow us to envision the future, and the future has not yet revealed the slightest image. Because of this, there is an even more urgent need to explore new ways of triggering bodily perception in the digital age, turning anxiety into a reality-altering drive.
