Taktiken der Entnetzung

In a time when everyone is constantly broadcasting and receiving, the ability to disconnect represents one of the most important conditions for the self-assertion and self-determination of the individual. The universally heightened communication and connectivity create an equally heightened need for communicative withdrawal and renunciation. Whether out of frustration over the decline of political discourse or as a reaction to the compulsion for constant exposure, whether from fear of the media programmed for permanent surveillance in the technological habitat or as an attempt to regain control over one's disordered media usage: everyone today needs strategies for disconnecting in order to successfully face the challenges of the digital age.
