Dawn of a New Feeling acknowledges that computers have become a formidable tool for creating art but contends that virtual reality is not conducive to meditations on the aesthetic object. Virtual or augmented reality, Raffaele Milani argues, is illusory and prevents the viewer from feeling a genuine connection with works of art, and nature itself.
