The text sets out the foundations and possibilities of using the visual-ecological approach to create a human-sized digital environment. By giving ourselves to interfaces and their technical requirements, we hope that we won freedom, time, and life by this. In reality, we can lose everything if the images we create will quantitatively express our technological capabilities to a greater extent than qualitatively deepen the actual human experience. We find ourselves in a situation like archaic, when a person, through the rituals and techniques invented by them, tamed their own dreams, fantasies and through them themselves, pacifying the demons of the imagination. Today, technical images are more insatiable than archaic demons, since they claim to massively intensify experience, but at the same time lead to an explosion of the imaginative, to burnout, chronic disinterest, and boredom. We produce images better than we know how to make them live. We have industrial technologies for their creation, but there are no body techniques adequate for their living. The theory should change the approach to technical images: think not about them, but together with them, about those techniques of the body and the worlds that they open, about the criteria and requirements that they set, about where they direct our desires and where they lead the inspired their dreams.
