Why our digital profiles are reshaping our internal identities
In short: Creator Jared Henderson reflects on the psychological toll of internet life, exploring how online platforms and personal profiles can distort our sense of self.
The video explores a period of creative struggle that prompted Henderson to examine his relationship with the internet. He draws on philosophical inquiries from three specific texts—Han's "Non-Things," Moeller & D'Ambrosio's "You and Your Profile," and C. Thi Nguyen's "The Score"—to analyze how digital existence impacts human identity.
By synthesizing these perspectives, Henderson seeks to clarify the friction between personal experience and the curated profiles we maintain online, questioning what is lost when our lives are mediated by digital structures.
