Simulation Machine

The simulation machine creates the virtuality from the reality and tries to produce realness in the virtual space. Social norms are being altered to adapt breakdowns of original social rules caused by the difference between the virtual and the real. Karl Marx, in The Fragment of Machines, pointed out that labor is fragmented and organized around the demands of machine to adapt the new form of time and space created by the machine. Similarly, intellectual
labor is also fragmented around the demands of the simulation machine to adapt the new social rules and differences. These new social norms, which recognize the intersection between the real and the virtual, are breaking down people’s distinct understandings of virtuality and reality and blurring the boundary between them.
