SURF - A VISUAL POEM (BOOK AND MOVIE)
Surf is a phonetic reflection on the identity crisis of alienation from reality after the switch into digital realms where things change with the speed of technological singularity.
It’s a subtle satire, a coming of age story in the age of surveillance capitalism. To build a profile is to compromise one’s potential self(s), destroying the tension between essence and potentiality, getting stuck in a filter bubble of sameness.
SURF
I am out of words for a while now.
I used to have rushing thoughts through my head; ready and set
Building worlds.
Now I have nothing
But an emotional state of a worm
That’s why I have wormholes instead of
a Body and soul
I wonder around,
longing the yellow warm.
so many stimuli going in and out
brains are full of colour and light
not a single day without
a phone app triggering my neurons and I am left out
I surf the internet and beyond
I surf the corners and intersections
Waves of reflections, a journey
Just to find a digital me.
