Another sequence of dutch light, opening this chapter, is meant to make you wonder about realism. Is virtual reality less 'real'? With a reference to section 2.3, where I quoted  [Remediation] on re-mediation, I may remark that the graphic style chosen for presenting the virtual environment strongly determines whether the environment is experienced as 'realistic'. In our culture this is generally a photorealistic style, as for example in the Mission Rehearsal Exercise discussed in the next chapter, section 9.2. The digital beauties are not only a pleasure to look at, but do also display a wide range of postures and styles.
