It’s via sunlight that we see the world.

In the age of web 2.0, it’s via light that we know the world, via the light in the optical fiber.We rely more and more on internet to know the outer world, as if we look « outside » through the tube of fiber. By this high speed circulation of information technique, it seems that we could find anything on line. But did we really know anything by internet?

In china, a proverb says: « People see the sky through tube ». It means we just see little and lose the rest. Did we do the same thing by internet?

Through the tube of fiber, we see the exact same point of this world, which make us feel that we get the whole world. In opposite,we lose the other parts of the world except that point.

 

Mirrors are inserted in every tube. The light of image get through the dispositive. The tubes rearrange the position of each fragment of light and recompose another image.
