DIGITAL FEELINGS

Since its inception, the digital world has epitomized the idea of escapism from the daily, the mundane: boredom, distance, isolation, longing. With the ongoing pandemic, most people find themselves at their breaking point – daily confinement in limited spaces, inability of in-person socialization, lack of carefree enjoyment of life to its fullest. Tomorrow will be better because now is the era of stagnation. People are running towards an online utopia, closing the distance between the physical and the digital.
