Russian Cosmism – the Theory of Media Epistemic Actions by K. A. Ocheretyany

“…According to their intuitions: 1) a person will become open to all eras, all mythologies, all symbols, and therefore extremely complicated (today we see how the newest interfaces of technical devices force us to do more, maximally intensifying our psychophysiology – attention, reaction speed, etc. ); 2) in the conditions of increasing complexity, new types of organization will be required (today complex social and technical systems are intertwined, creating hybrids: virtual, augmented reality, real virtuality, etc.); 3) since traditional contexts are erased and paradoxical hybrid forms of experience are multiplied, actions should not just lead to some result, but first of all explain their goals and their meaning, that is, practical and pragmatic actions give way to epistemic actions (clarifying that actually done – hence the value of gamification, information, etc.). …”
