The best virtual art is a new kind of new media, using the particular properties of the virtual world to make metaphors manifest.
Virtual art can be seen as experimentation with what could become augmented reality, when the equipment for creating and experiencing it are more accessible to everyone.
When we break free from the constraints of the physical, we call attention to new contrasts; we may make distance evaporate, but does that mean we create closeness? If the experience of telepresence is to know that I am experiencing something where I know I am not, and teleaction is to affect change where I am physically not, what kind of aesthetic will have to emerge when our subjectivity is so connected to the perception that there is no distance between myself and what I see?
