<nettime> Suggestion for discussion

[Sawyer Gracer via nettime-l <nettime-l@lists.nettime.org>]

Hi Nettime community,

I had emailed about a month ago requesting feedback on my thesis topic. I'm
now reaching out in hopes of receiving reflections about how The Screen
(any and all digital/pixelated interfaces that allow for communication,
entertainment, work, etc.) has changed what it's like to be in a body in
the world and how, if at all, your experience of sharing space with and
perceiving others has changed.

My thesis works with J.J. Gibson's theory of affordances to argue that The
Screen is making us less attuned to affordances in the world, and so is
challenging mutual perception and embodied existence, both of which are
crucial to agency. Thus, The Screen is a threat to agency. I'm conducting
an existential phenomenology, so am hoping to gather first-person
perspectives on the experience of this phenomenon.
Thank you for your attention,
Sawyer
