6th Semester2021

I conducted self-experiments in which I alternately disconnected from the digital world and used media excessively to understand how these stimuli affect daily life. It was shocking to see how I both embraced escape mechanisms into the digital world and out of it - to stillness, vision and nature.

My brain was very good at adapting to the many stimuli, bringing a kind of order to the disorder, but subconsciously this data had to be processed, I was under constant stress, quickly became nervous and paranoid. I realized how important moments are when you are introverted, when your thoughts are racing and you question your own status quo. I think OUR hard drive needs these moments, and you can't escape from them.
