I will describe to what extent we understand the dynamical origin of higher dimensional space-time geometry from quantum field theory computations in a particular example of the gauge/gravity duality, namely the large N limit of maximally supersymmetric Yang Mills theory. I will go in particular through the description of extended geometric objects from field theory setups. These extended object are interpreted as a special collection of D-branes and the shortest strings stretching between them in the dual geometry.
