The Para-Real: A Manifesto - A New Design Congress Essay
Between the digital realm and our physical world is a third space — hybrid, ephemeral and poorly understood. We call it the Para-Real, an emotional and transformative state that emerges when the electronic and the real collide, and — just for a moment — creates a space that can only exist at the exact second where platforms and atoms operate in absolute parallel.

THE PARA-REAL:
A MANIFESTO
Between the digital realm and our physical world is a third space — hybrid, ephemeral and poorly understood. For decades, this in-between space has influenced the digitised society unseen. We call it the Para-Real, an emotional and transformative state that emerges when the electronic and the real collide, and — just for a moment — creates a space that can only exist at the exact second where platforms and atoms operate in absolute parallel. The para-real occurs inside this time-space, a form of perception and #interface #derealisation whose boundaries can no longer be perceived—and whose affects are longer separated. The para-real is at once conditioned by computational forces, yet also immune to the parasitic intrusion of practices of #extraction. The para-real is thus a paradoxical state of subsistence within the fissures of the #digital and the #analogue. The para-real is what occurs before the #cybernetic digestion. It is key to understanding real #futures beyond #speculation.
