Does the statue represent God? Is the flag sacred? What is the status of the sacred symbols, and what happens to them when they move to the cyberspace?
In this lecture, computerized icons in religious/spiritual/magical ceremonies and their status were examined and analyzed. The lecture is part of a research project in which an article was published and lectures were presented in other directions.

This lecture took part in the “First Workshop for Studies in Visual Culture” of the interdisciplinary program for Hermeneutics Studies at Bar Ilan University, in the spring of 2007, March 2007.
