In the cases of Baudelaire and Benjamin's ‘flaneur’ and Benjamin’s ‘derivear’ we see models for urban observing
These models involve physical interaction with the environment
With “digital technologies words, virtual spaces are instantly accessible (and) can be distorted and reconceptualised”.
“…one becomes a flaneur of virtual space; the distant invisible viewer”
“The controller and manipulator of information” Doug Hall, Thoughts of the Neighborhood Watch 1995
