One of the most important problems these days is the disappearance of reality, although a phrase 'virtualization of reality' might better articulate the idea. The present virtualization of reality is caused by technological progress, and more precisely, by incompatibility of our perception of the world with the third generation images which are able to simulate reality. By the means of these images our reality is doubled. As long as we speak of factual reality and virtual reality, and claim that the former is replaced by latter, we are still within the frame of the logics of representation. Paradoxically, we still know what reality is and what its virtual phantom is, and therefore, we can speak of the 'loss' of reality. Virtualization of reality lies in something different, in making us believe in plausibility of the images, in making us believe that reality is what we can see. Victory of images over reality is a threatening perspective and mass media draw us closer and closer to it. .
