The hidden media in augmented reality

Abstract

When people communicate, they exchange messages and information through a coded language and as a consequence they create a common thought shared by any person involved in it. So to share a language means to share a culture. In this perspective the control of the flux of information and of the practices of discourse connected to the use of new technologies such as mobile instruments, can exceed the simple task of censorship used in the past: the ICT experts now decide which themes and structures of the messages can be communicated and often they do it, they also create logical paths of deduction and at least they form functional ideas molded according to the political, economic and religious powers.
Social networks and Augmented Reality cannot be separated because they are technologies through which this particular power is efficaciously and mysteriously hidden in a superficial evidence. Only in some few cases such as literature or art as in LIS, considered minority language as Deleuze believed, above all in the genre of LIS-poetry, this mysterious and occult power is unmasked and the relationship with reality in communication is true and direct.
