Hyperconnection
Dahee Byun
What does it mean to be connected? The development of the digital world has blurred the distinction of physical and virtual connection, which has made the concept of being “connected” more complicated. Moreover, the emergence of Covid-19 changed the meaning of being connected; people are together but apart or physically isolated and connected digitally. Hyperconnection is an exploration of what it means to connect with people physically and virtually during this special moment and time. The clear, colorless, and genderless character is a metacharacter that represents us like an avatar. The metacharacter performs everyday activities and demonstrates how it has been translated into another contact during this particular moment.
