            Abstract : 
The paper explores the adaptation of the self into space with new media technologies. Adaptation in the urban milieu happens as a special kind of information transference of social values, reforming new representational aesthetic standards. Representation may be explained as a sequence of layers applied upon the body. The first layer of representation is the skin, whereas dress is next. Moving out from the body towards space, the wall "dresses" space and is also the primary element of spatial definition. With the new technological devices, the wall may be seen as a "screen interface" between space and the self and an active membrane of communication between them
