La mirada imposible

For the first time in history, the identity of human beings is not constructed by a single entity, individual or collective, but by an abstraction, a network in which it is not possible to find a clear organizing center. The idea that the subject assembles his own identity and more or less controls it is nothing more than a consoling lie. Right now, all over the planet Earth, and either directly with our names and surnames or through second-hand data and metadata, there are tens, hundreds, thousands of information in which each one of us appears. Starting from the fundamental idea of ??stage and fifth wall, passing through geolocation, drones or empty cities, Agustín Fernández Mallo argues that individual identity is the sum and mutual interaction of all those information that we not only do not control but also of those that we do not even have nor will we ever have knowledge; they are for each one an external and impossible look.
