Granie w przypominanie – symrealizm i znikanie historii
Playing with Recollections – Symrealism and the Vanishing of History

Summary/Abstract: This article details a peculiar model of digital realism, who full­est expression is in first -person virtual -world computer games. The peculiarity of this new realism comes from the fact that, as a response to the revolutionary perception of the reality of someone who uses numerous simulation technologies on a day -to -day basis, it dispenses with giving thought to the objectively existing world. In games like Assassin’s Creed or Soma, the only real things are mediated by the space inside the simulator. The “simulated realism” aesthetic is, how­ever, even more interesting from an epistemological perspective – as it turns out, in this framework, “factual” history cannot be represented at all. The past seen through a simulator shrinks to a virtual, uncer­tain, and individual memory.
