SELF diss played

“In our post-privacy world the river is a peripheral place for escaping desires in the digitized cities. To disappear is getting more and more difficult, since we multiply ourselves all the time. We are in a schizophrenic situation, we are observer and are observed at the same time. Are we displaced by ourselves? So we remain visible as resistant parallel runners in an dystopian environment, captured in an infinite loop.”
