Summary/Abstract: The author describes modern space in the light of the change in the model of travelling. The medium of television plays an important role in this practice: it mediates space and replaces its proper experience. The postmodern urban nomad (Deleuze, Maffesoli), the teleurban flâneur or the tourist-telanthrop (Berger) represent roles characteristic of a mediated perception of reality. It is the static „audiovisual vehicle" (Virilio), by introducing the spectator to a kind of inertia, that, in contact with mediated space, makes it possible for us to travel by merely seeing.
