RASTERSIEVE

NXS #2: Synthetic Selves / Available at www.draw-down.com / How is the self understood in the digital era? This issue investigates whether we have full agency in constructing ourselves and what kind of images of ourselves we are broadcasting. Online environments are playgrounds for identity construction, as well places that allow for becoming “the other.” At face value, online platforms seem to promise us the opportunity to become anyone we want—yet what happens online has consequences in the physical world. And what happens online is supported by the physical systems which undergird present society. Technology not only mediates the narratives of our daily lives, it shapes them. #printed #limitededition #NXS #SyntheticSelves #design
