Abstract

The category of space has been present in the discourse on computer networks from the moment they became an environment enabling all kinds of social activity. The phenomena described in the article below focus on two main threads. The first is the transformation of the traditionally understood spatiality (topography) taking place as a result of the combination of satellite image technology, geolocation, geographic information systems and mobile applications. Their combined capabilities create the so-called “augmented space”, a conglomerate of real locations and digital data related to them. The second issue is the transformations which, owing to modern information and communication technologies, take place in the relationship between man and local culture – its tradition and modernity.
