Choose Your Reality

We have become used to seeing the world rendered on a computer screen, almost unquestioningly we take in the mirror world of Google (maps, earth streetview) the hyper-reality of three dimensional buildings superimposed on global high resolution imagery.  There is little pause to question what we are seeing, the integrity of the images, or the extent to which reality is morphed into a digital vision of the real.  Computer games add yet another distorting lens between the real world and the world as we experience it on screen.  So, I invite you to choose your reality, wonder what the differences between visions mean and if they are even relevant when immersive visualistion is so easily achieved (for the price of a £10 computer game).  If your only experience of a place is the digital envisioning of that place, who is to say that is not the most real.
