quem tem direito ao offline? / lan house #25

Instagram and TikTok, short videos: @sodremat Texts at sodremat.substack.com -- We are all exhausted from excessive screen time and life flattened and funneled by algorithms and endless scrolling. From this fatigue arises the dream of disconnection. The desire not only to feel present, but to be perceived and seen as someone present. Interested, interesting. To whom does offline belong? Who has the right to flaunt disconnection? Let's invert the logic: instead of responding to the lack of materiality through consumption, associating our image with signs of presence in the real world, how about using this desire to create new rituals of interaction and context with the life around us, starting from ourselves? The recommendation: the usual: Cowboy Bebop — Many thanks to all the members of the cybercafé and to everyone who has supported the LAN house. Every week I recharge doing this.
