“On another note, “Space may be the projection or the extension of the physical apparatus”, Freud noted. In an essay, later published as ac chapter of In/Different Spaces, Victor Burgin emphasized the specifically psychological character of modernist space. A space would be a result of introjection or projection – which is to say, a product of the thinking and sensing subject as opposed to the universal and stable entity envisaged since the Enlighten. What this also implied, as Burgin developed, was that there existed a spatial unconscious, susceptible to analysis and interpretation.
Space is never universal, but subjective. Digital space is not mimetic or literal, but referential. What the new digital spacialities have re-discovered is the unconscious of urban space.”
