Streaks

In the book Non-things, author, philosopher, Catholic theologian and cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han states “The selfie announces the disappearance of the kind of human being who is burdened by destiny and history. It expresses a form of life that devotes itself playfully to the moment. Selfies do not mourn.”

“Snapchat represents the culmination of instantaneous digital communication…The moment is all that counts…Digital time disintegrated into a mere sequence of point-like presences. It has no narrative continuity. It thus transforms life itself into something fleeting.”
