| The thought process of what it means in the term "VIRTUAL" |
Strategy 3: Virtual
The idea of "virtual" immediately started us off on the idea of using "technology". It began by recognising how people today are a lot more plugged into their iPod and/or music device, and then questioning if it was a process of deliberate privacy or public engagement. Privacy; listening to one's own type of music selection. Public engagement; listening to a podcast that was recently made available. This brings about the idea of a "remote control" - it controls mobility, and yet gives flexibility in terms of how we want to be more selective in what we see and listen. Having said that, it also gives a "user" a certain form of control in terms of "management". Using the concept of "City Building Program", there can be a usage of centralising a "control system" that manages the function of a city, which explains the idea of "management" through a "virtual" possibility.
Then there is the notion of a "human brain" that exists within the "virtual" realm. This would be a more realistic point of view where ideas & imaginations are triggered using all the human 5 senses. It recognises the connection that the brain is able to make between the tangible and non-tangible. This tend to generate ideas and subsequently influences in the way one interpret the surrounding atmospheres. Sometimes memories from years ago can be triggered through taste or smell and that "virtual" realm within the powers of the brain is utilised to bring back those memories.
The accumulation of strategies that build upon "Flexible" and "Mobile" provides an insight into the strategy of "Virtual" in how we can perceive this hypothetical Australian capital of the future. This leads the way for the idea of "Distributed" which will be elaborated further in the next entry.
