The audience is asked to pay attention to the consequences of the creation of a type of memory based on virtual experiences rather than physical ones.

The desire of a total knowledge travels much quicker than the opportunity to make human experiences, or, as Pierre Lévy concludes 'the pace of cultural evolution exceeds that of biological evolution'.
In The Physical Impossibility of Memory in the Mind of Someone Living the disappearance of the Real is manifested first, in The Present, through the disappearance of a city, New York, under its own images (the city is covered by screens and posters of itself which have been re-photographed) and then, in The Future, through the disappearance of art whose experience is everyday more and more relegated to the virtual. These photographs are memory images but it is a memory based on a disappeared Reality, on a lack of physical experiences.
