Visual space is the space of detachment. Audile-tactile space is the space of involvement.

 
Marshall McLuhan
 

Audile-tactile space is the space of involvement. We lose "touch" without it. Visual space is the space of detachment.

 
Marshall McLuhan
 

There is no pure visualization in the sense of a priori philosophies; every visualization is determined by previous sense perceptions, and any separation into perceptual space and space of visualization is not permissible, since the specifically visual elements of the imagination are derived from perceptual space. What led to the mistaken conception of pure visualization was rather an improper interpretation of the normative function... an essential element of all visual representations. Indeed, all arguments which have been introduced for the distinction of perceptual space and space of visualization are base on this normative component of the imagination.

 
Hans Reichenbach
 

Tactility is the space of the interval; acoustic space is spherical and resonant.

 
Marshall McLuhan
 

Space expands or contracts in the tensions and functions through which it exists. Space is not a static, inert thing. Space is alive; space is dynamic; space is imbued with movement expressed by forces and counterforces; space vibrates and resounds with color, light and form in the rhythm of life.
