It's 2086.

The very last visual border between the virtual and the physical—the screen— has evaporated. Bits and atoms have merged into a singular dataset, and the virtual world has been directly placed into the shallow gap between our retinas and the built environment that we perceive. Baudrillard's statement that television is the world doesn’t hold its value anymore. Nobody knows what a television is anymore.

Permanent settlement is not guaranteed within the physivirtual world, as users share or occupy space-time just like a temporary torrent seed. We live in networked urban commons through the time-based sharing of goods and services. We are now all digitized nomads- but an obligatory one.

Because telepresence now equals presence, the concept of physical mobility has vanished. Many people quickly adapted to the physivirtual world. The spread of networks and the growth of communities meant prosperity. They embarked on a persistent battle to eliminate the not-much-left spatial barriers.

However, there were certain individuals who decided to break that connection. The ones who wanted atoms, not bits to configure space and move them around. The ones who wanted to share and connect by their own will.


These people were named the nomads.

Not the digitized nomads,
but nomads nomads.
