Personal Project What has information technology done to us as human beings? Developments in the field of information technology have progressed by leaps and bounds in recent years. We are witnessing a digital revolution. People on the train, they seem inaccessible to their fellow passengers, that's how deeply they are immersed in their digital world. They seem to sit isolated in their own bubble, but actually they are busy with several things at the same time. I know what it feels like to build a digital wall and completely isolate myself from what surrounds me. The current developments around Corona seem to only reinforce this behavior. The behaviour of people in both public and private spaces has visibly changed. This work investigates to what extent it is possible to show the contradiction of shutting off your immediate environment, but at the same time creating your own digital world in which everything is possible.
