VictoriArtNFT Collection

Being human in the digital age
- A visual story in 5 acts

This collection is a collaboration between Berlin-based text artist Victoria Hohmann and media designer Andreas Vierheller. Together they reflect on being human in the digital age. The result is a visual story in five acts. Each act consists of eight short minimalist video loops.

About the collection

At the turn of the millennium, officially in 2002, analog and digital storage options balanced each other out for the first time and the digital age began.

Since then, our everyday life, information flow, information paths, data processing and the storage capacities of data have developed rapidly. So rapidly, in fact, that information sometimes overtakes itself - for example, although every teenager today knows the icon for "save": a floppy disk, the floppy disk itself has no meaning to them because it is already a museum piece.

How has the digital revolution shaped us, how does it affect us at the moment, what future scenarios are conceivable as a result of it? Man versus machine, fragility versus perfection, immediacy versus user interface, physicality versus mental power. Are these clichés, actual dichotomies? What ambivalences are driving us? What consequences, what fears and what dreams?

In short: What does it mean to be human in the digital age?

User

The vocabulary in the drug milieu and on the Internet are similar. Increasingly, we are becoming more dependent on Likes that provide us with endorphin kicks. Scrolling from top to bottom on social networks triggers the archaic reward mechanism in our brains. Do we reflect our addiction? A visual study.

Search

The personal quest, the epic hero's journey is increasingly shifting to the virtual. We search for everything on the Internet. What do we find? What are we actually looking for? What do we find when we look for ourselves there? A reflection on identity.
