Abstract: The article discusses the actual problem of virtual reality effect on the perception of space, both personal and public. The symbiosis of man and technology of personal mobile devices is not developing the experience of body implementation in space, but rather flicker-lack of presence. This impact is reflected in contemporary art products, particularly in public art. City or megapolis is now perceived as the continuation of virtuality and the space of city or megapolis is considered to be a hypertext because it starts to acquire virtual objects. These objects contrast against the general architectonics of streets deliberately creating the effect of completed reality. The research methodology is based on the general cultural studies approach and involves Post-Modernist philosophy related to contemporary culture. The author analyzes the phenomenon of public art as a virtual intervention or surgery which is embedded in the body of the traditional city composition, initially without perceiving it as something holistic and unified, and that refers to Gilles Deleuze's concept of the "body without organs". Thus, public art is an example of planned transgression in the system of consumer society which blurs the boundaries of elite and mass art, making art to be a form of public communication and politics, and at the same time a commercial product and entertainment.
