Summary/Abstract: New media creates a new experience of reality. The space and time of communication becomes an interactive medium for the construction of reality within the technological conditions of new media. Along with the restructuring of the relations between human existence and communication technologies, our former cultural experiences of the relationship between reality and virtuality are also transformed. From a dimension formerly associated with reality, virtuality becomes a reality-constructing factor. My study focuses upon the metaphysical and epistemological perspectives opened up by the experiences of virtuality, which are formed in the context of new media, by their existential aspects and cultural implications, related to the re-thinking of the relationship between reality and virtuality.
