- The picture window objectifies nature into a possessable object.
- Turns the exterior into a representation, collapsing depth into the surface of the glass
- Technology de-materializes hardware
I recently visited Universal studios in LA, which i found interesting because i was able to view to sets that construct many of the images seen in movies and television. It reminded me in the text of the discussion of how the picture windows "turns the exterior into a representation collapsing depth into the surface of the glass".
In this case it was if the same mechanism was working again, but in my own reality. It wasn;t like i was experiencing this on my own, rather it felt like i has stepped inside of a television. My visual field of perception became a representation and literally collapsed into my own field of vision.
What is the difference between viewing this set on a trolley and viewing it on television? they are both controlled representations in a visual field? Does the movie's narrative become the real version of the set's history or is its construction? What is more authentic the movie on film or the set in reality?

Question:
Is the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas less real than the Eiffel Tower in Paris? If something is a replica of another does that make our experience with it invalid?
