- So Sad Today is a transdisciplinary research project revolving around contemporary digital cultures. It is focused on the friction occurring among identities developed in the physical world and those developed in the digital worlds of each person. The project addresses “digital dysphoria”, i.e. a concept characterised by a feeling of discomfort due to the dissociation with our digital ego. “This research came about as part of the journey undertaken during my doctoral thesis ‘Millennial intimacies. Contemporary artistic practices and smartphones’, through which I’ve worked in-depth on the transformation of both intimacy and public and private spheres in digital environments. My intention with this route is to look inwards towards one’s own physicalness, with its regrets, fluids and limitations which, however much one insists to the contrary, it is already a complex hybrid subject and inevitably cyborg.”
