The Winning Arguments of the Anthropocene in the Production of Space

The essay stages the law at the intersections between the humanities, technology, and the production of digital spaces. Interactions like these are relevant in the present age, where humankind is outcompeting natural resources and changing the earth. The Anthropocene is an epoch of environmental crisis, which we humans make undergo a process of sublimation servient to the control of the earth; blurring the divide between the digital and the human is functional to such a process. The strategic use of the law then makes climate-change policies compatible with global markets. Assuming that manufacturing digital spaces is useful to this end, the essay focuses on multimedia games, i.e. a digital space blending real-word performances with internet- and media-related contents. This digital space is also functional to sublimation, since it convinces us that we can successfully tackle climate change without changing our lifestyles and economic paradigms.
