Abstract

Spanish Abstract: Comentamos el relato de ciencia ficción de James Blish 'A Work of Art' (Una obra de arte), analizando sus implicaciones como reflexión sobre futuros desarrollos estéticos derivados de las tecnologías de la realidad virtual y de la inteligencia artificial. Examinamos los aspectos reflexivos de la técnica narrativa modernista usada por Blish en el contexto de un argumento que relaciona la 'escultura mental' de la ficción narrativa y de la lectura immersiva con otras dimensiones virtuales de la experiencia y de la cognición humanas.

English Abstract: This is a commentary on James Blish's science fiction story 'A Work of Art', analyzing its implications as a reflection on future aesthetic developments as a consequence of the technologies of virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The reflexive aspects of Blish's modernist narrative technique are examined as a step in an argument relating the 'mind sculpture' of narrative fiction and immersive reading to other virtual dimensions of human experience and cognition.
