in the virtual space
Instagram is a source of uncertainty for me
An oversensitive nervous systemAttacked with stimuli, the mind is quickly bored
I see myself in the users I followThe recording of activity is in progress
24-hour productivityTension grows, changes its form
I am afraid of myself on other participants’ screensI’m not interested in likes unless there aren’t any
Constant shifting of focusBeing here, I’m there, the mind and the body are split
I’m recruited by algorithms, I surrender to contentNew forms of essayism, feminism, activism, escapism
The myth of healthy distanceRestriction or abandonment
Manifestations of temporary force resulting from the crisisPresumption of intentions, overinterpretation of content
I sense fatigue with a new range of emotionalityUser capital and profile potential
Created authenticitySelective focus assesses the usefulness of the information
Unifying experiences, limiting perceptionA closed community of visual experiences
Convenience of repetition, safety of the schemaEmotions shared, a quick reaction
We know more about each other than we’d like to have in common
User X tries to get out of the world of the interface. They call attention to physicality, experience with the body and see more than they can publish. Nothing is banal for them, they are not afraid of simple feelings, mundane things or down-to-earth subjects. They were both out of the everyday and in accordance with the facts of contemporary reality, they will exist on the web — using its strengths and weaknesses, they will use it to create.
A report on the experience of the imagined and real users of Project X will be presented in the space of the @galleria_zacheta Instagram page.
