When Everything Becomes Performance
Picture scrolling through your phone at 2 a.m., bathed in blue light, toggling between apps where different versions of yourself exist simultaneously-the witty Twitter persona, the aesthetically curated Instagram profile, the professional LinkedIn identity. Which one is real? The uncomfortable truth is that they all are, and none of them are. We've entered an era where identity itself has become a performance we can never stop giving, on a stage where the curtain never falls and the audience never leaves. The internet once felt like liberation. In 1999, a ten-year-old could build her own corner of cyberspace on GeoCities, learning HTML just for the joy of creation. Back then, the digital world resembled a village of curiosities-you wandered through web rings of animal GIFs, stumbled into forums organized by genuine interest, discovered things privately. Pleasure existed as its own reward. But something fundamental shifted around 2012. The village became a sprawling, unlivable city. What began as self-expression curdled into self-surveillance. We're now trapped in a system where our identities are simultaneously the product being sold and the currency we use to buy connection. The architecture of social media positions your personal identity as the center of the universe-binoculars that make everything look like your own reflection.
