Vito Acconci Response


     In chapter nine, Vito Acconci talks about spaces where people go. People go to indoor spaces to stay in groups of people. They are brought to these spaces for similar reasons and there are two reasons why a person would be going there: for the service of the place, or to be a part of that group in the space. There are two types of these places that are “sensed”: a “historical place,” or a “virtual place.” We remember a historical place and we imagine a virtual place. A historical place is “stopped at a certain point in time.” A virtual place is not affected by time for other elements, so a virtual space is much less limited.
