Play, download and edit the free video Visualisation of Cyberspace in Neuromancer.

As the technique of brain-computer interface develops and human civilisation moves towards the future when brains can directly access the Internet, graphic design will expand its landscape when ‘visible’ brain-computer interfaces can be widely applied. This project is both a prophecy and a tribute to the iconic science fiction novel Neuromancer (Gibson,1984) which coined the term ‘cyberspace’. The video intends to predict a user-centred experience in cyberspace, which was envisioned in Neuromancer, but within today’s context. The most significant visual element ‘light reflection in a rod’ came from the optical fibre cables, which represent the materiality of today’s Internet. On the other hand, the quantitative contents ‘packets’ and ‘hops’ indicate the real structure of Internet. The distance in cyberspace is redefined as ‘delay time’ between two IP addresses. In addition, an imitation of ‘phosphene’ phenomenon is based on both a study of cognitive neuroscience of vision and the description of cyberspace in Neuromancer. ©Jingyang Zeng 2021
