Abstract

The present era is marked by the end of traditional communication, manifested by frequent communication via various screens and displays. Mobile technology further allows us to redirect our attention to a different digital environment instantaneously.

There is an increasing number of people for whom it is natural to integrate their Self into the digital realm and create digital identity - a virtual profile through which one can communicate and live. I'm working on research, called 'The Screeners Project: The Age of New Communication".

This research explores two contemporary life platforms, digital (online) and biological (offline), because today we are constantly switching between these two worlds. The digital sphere influences our cognition towards life itself.

It prompts several questions: How is technological acceleration significant in art education, particularly with respect to "Generation Z" (born after the year 2000). Because digital platforms are becoming more and more important, how do they interfere with the life and communication of members of this generation? These are the main research questions I would like to answer
