In this paper I will try to outline how the new technologies have redefined our embodied life and embodied interactions shaping a new digital environment and how space and time, in their digital version, affect the body in its spatial perception and memory skills. In order to do so I will read the digital environment as a peri-personal space and the digital device as a prosthesis of human being. Secondly I will offer a critique of the validity of the computer model of memory (storage and recovery) when applied to mental mnemonic phenomena.

Abstract
In this paper I will try to outline how the new technologies have redefined our embodied life and embodied interactions shaping a new digital environment and how space and time, in their digital version, affect the body in its spatial perception and memory skills. In order to do so I will read the digital environment as a peri-personal space and the digital device as a prosthesis of human being. Secondly I will offer a critique of the validity of the computer model of memory (storage and recovery) when applied to mental mnemonic phenomena.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
