the virtual interrogates the real

[jason]

We’ve been talking a lot around the notion of the real and the virtual (in my grad class ‘children, technology and play), and this past class we were looking at a number of Mimi Ito’s papers on edutainment and children’s gaming. The ability for the virtual to influence the real is something that has always fascinated me… this morning on CityTV there was a band who was covering the old A-Ha song “Take Me On” from the mid-80s, and it struck me that that must have been one of my earlier experiences with the virtual/real liquidity. And here it is.
