Anne Dippel and Martin Warnke explore the epistemological status of computer simulations. By examining the erosion of concept-based truth in the digital age in combination with pathways of knowledge in physics, they offer a media ethnography of the famous quantum physics double-slit experiment and its simulation. Recognizing simulations as central to shaping reality and multiplying illusions, the authors propose “operational realism” as epistemic composure in the digital era. The work raises ethical questions about algorithmic world design, offering humor, revelations, and insights into new ontologies of knowledge.tw7480 Dippel/Warnke, Depths of IllusionKnowing Reality Through Computer SimulationComputer SimulationNew MaterialismQuantum MechanicsMediaEthicsScienceMedia TheoryCultural AnthropologyEpistemologyDigital MediaMedia StudiesComputer SimulationNew MaterialismQuantum MechanicsMediaEthicsScienceMedia TheoryCultural AnthropologyEpistemologyDigital MediaMedia StudiesDippel Anne<p>Anne Dippel, Hochschule f&uuml;r Bildende K&uuml;nste Braunschweig, Deutschland</p>autWarnke Martin<p>Martin Warnke, Leuphana Universit&auml;t L&uuml;neburg, Deutschland</p>autCorcoran StevetrlMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911132755903321UNINA
