Abstract
Since antiquity, technology has been modifying the relationship between Man and Nature. A number of technological tools have been developed in scientific field in order to ‘translate’ natural objects and phenomena or to overcome the weakness of human senses. Among these tools, visual media, especially the cinematographic camera, created a proper space and became, in a second stage, narrative tools. On the grounds of these considerations, the paper is aimed at investigating visual media and narrative. In particular, the paper analyzes how digital technology emphasizes the spatial nature of visual narrative, how this space seems to correspond to fractal geometry, and how it transforms the narrative act into cartography of an infinite space.
