Der Band fokussiert virtuelle Architekturen als bildhafte Räume und begehbare Bilder und lotet damit sowohl ihre ästhetischen als auch performativ-praktischen Potenziale aus. Virtuelle Räume bestimmen unsere Kultur heute bereits mehr, als uns bewusst ist. Wir betreten sie sowohl zur Unterhaltung, beim Spielen und Lernen, als auch in der Architektur und in industriellen Arbeitsprozessen. Inzwischen nehmen sie in der Forschung ebenfalls eine wachsende Rolle ein. Zugleich steht eine kritisch reflektierende Beschäftigung mit der Ästhetik der simulierten Bildräume, den Prämissen ihres Entstehens und den von ihnen ausgehenden Handlungsangeboten noch weitgehend aus. Zwölf Beiträge aus angewandten Bereichen in Forschung und Technik, experimentellen Ansätzen in Architektur, Kunst und Theater sowie aus theoretisch-historischer Perspektive geben erhellende Einblicke in den kulturell und gesellschaftlich zunehmend bedeutsamen Bereich digitaler Raumkonzepte und virtueller Realitäten.

Many current counter-disinformation initiatives focus on addressing the production or ""supply side"" of digital disinformation. Less attention tends to be paid to the consumption or the intended audiences of disinformation campaigns.A central concept in understanding people's consumption of and vulnerability to digital disinformation is its imaginative dimension as a communication act. Key to the power of disinformation campaigns is their ability to connect t.

Besides being one of the countries most severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia also experienced a severe "infodemic": an overabundance of contradictory information--including misinformation and disinformation--on COVID-19. This infodemic hampered pandemic mitigation efforts, resulting in non-compliance with public health measures and delays to the national vaccination programme in the first six months of the pandemic due to widespread vaccine hesitancy or vaccine refusal. Furthermore, it fomented public distrust of the government and other institutions.On Indonesian social media, this infodemic engendered a peculiar type of hybrid narrative, combining global conspiracy theories with local moral economies and religious sentiments. Religious micro-influencers were particularly influential in spreading the narrative that the government's COVID-19 policies could not be trusted, and that COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous and haram. Such posts were often removed in line with the social media platforms' policies to combat false information on COVID-19, and the individuals who created such content risked prosecution in line with the government's punitive approach to "hoaxes". However, this did not lessen the prevalence of anti-vaccine narratives, nor did it mitigate public distrust of the government.The government also contributed to the spiral of distrust through its inconsistent policies, lack of transparency, and mixed messages. Especially in the pandemic's early phases, government officials themselves were found spreading misleading information, first to downplay the severity and risk of COVID-19 in order to avoid social unrest, and subsequently to push for a quick reopening of the economy. In prioritizing the economy over public health, considerable resources were spent on influence campaigns to persuade the public to continue business as normal.The influence campaigns appeared to succeed in persuading people to return to work and to get vaccinated eventually. However, public distrust remained and was easily reactivated on social media in response to inconsistencies and double standards in the government's enforcement of COVID-19 restrictions.

Wer nachahmt, läuft Gefahr, mit der Nachahmung das Sein davonzutragen, gab kein Geringerer als Platon zu bedenken. Platon folgend, wird die Wirksamkeit von entgrenzenden Nachahmungsprozessen auf unterschiedliche kulturelle und soziale Bereiche aus historischer, epistemischer und medialer Ebene untersucht. In den einzelnen Beiträgen geraten theoretische Reflexe und Konzepte, u.a. von Gabriel Tarde, Roger Caillois, Erich Auerbach, Pierre Klossowksi und Pier Paolo Pasolini in den Blick, die von der Furcht vor exzessiven Potenzialen mimetischer Praktiken, aber auch von ihrer Faszination zeugen: Denn die Nachahmung erlaubt es, die ontologischen Grenzziehungen zwischen Personen, Dingen und Zeichen zu verwischen.
