FORe WARDS from R AMROD I NTERNATIONAL P RESS™

by Jonni Dramana, MANAGING EDITOR “SPATIAL ENTRY INTO CYBERSPACE – the anomaly of passage ” was first presented by Deighton in 1993 as a short essay for a Graduate Seminar at the University of Colorado at Denver named “Gender, Feminism , & Cyberspace in Architecture,” which was conducted by Professor Taisto Makela (a leading expert on Finnish master Alvar Aalto), & whose class also happened to produce the first scholarly research ever to be recorded on “sexism” in Cyberspace. [Note: The sexism sub-topic also spawned a separate, unpublished paper by Deighton to be released at a future date ].

Re-printed here by RAMROD INTERNATIONAL PRESS™ with its original text is Deighton’s foretelling, “Orwellian” manifesto on Architecture in Cyberspace (or Cyberspace in Architecture?) -- About which you will read with mystical confoundment considering Virtual Reality (VR) was still quite a brand-new concept in 1992 (not to be utilized to design “real” buildings for at least another 15+ years), & 2-D Computer Aided Design (CAD) was itself new & had only just barely taken root -- Written even before advanced 3-D computer development had begun to flourish in the Hollywood & Tokyo film & video gaming industries. [Double Note: PostTRON, but well before HACKERS, JOHNNY MNEMONIC & even THE MATRIX ].

In 2019, over 25 years after the initial release of his mere 4 pages of powerful prose (--5 if you count the citations--) that have now become the seminal “Treatise,” or Manifesto on how we experience reality in a virtual environment, Deighton was recognized as a pioneering authority on Cyberspace in a feature interview by the Tampa Bay Times newspaper on his Architecture firm’s (BDG Architects) latest building designs -- Created with the very same 3-D methods & appurtenances that he so cryptically forecast & predicted (so very long ago) for VR in “SPATIAL ENTRY…” (a.k.a.

“CYBER-SCAPES”). And this is not to mention his introduction of Informodes ™ (a term he first coined therein for which he has now finally received credit) to prescribe how we engage our most fantastic, computer dream-worlds as physical, tangible realities…via Cyberspace. [Triple Note: Deighton even co-wrote, produced & recorded a full-length music CD as an original soundtrack score in 1998 with his band Separate Faith].

Resurrected from the vaults, scanned from a faded facsimile, left unedited from its original, word-processor-GBC-bound format -- In all its gloriously reproduced, raw “typo-ridden-warped-text” appearance with its profound quotes & mini-sci-fi-art panels intact (+ 2 new pin-ups by red-hot guest artist Casey Gonzalez) -- R.I.P.ress™ is proud to properly and finally introduce to our readers this artfully articulated “CYBER-SCAPES ” Treatise

by Deighton that is hauntingly still valid today---------------FAZE FRIENDLY! J
