Searching for Meaning in a Digitalized World

This post is about my ongoing quest to find purpose and significance in life, particularly within the context of an increasingly digital society where interactions, information access, and even social connections are largely mediated through technology, presenting both opportunities and challenges in the pursuit of meaning.

The internet, social media, and digital devices have become central to daily life, creating a vast online space where individuals can connect, learn, and express themselves, but also potentially leading to feelings of isolation or comparison with others. 

The main challenges I encounter as a digital nomad are:

1. Information Overload: The constant stream of information can be overwhelming, making it difficult to discern what is truly valuable or meaningful.2. Social Comparison: Comparing one’s online persona to others on social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy.3. Digital Addiction: Excessive screen time can distract from real-life connections and experiences.

The main advantages are that digital creativity allows me to express myself through online content creation, writing, art, or other digital mediums.

Science and the arts might seem very different, but the processes that both fields use are very similar. The scientific method is a way to explore a problem, form and test a hypothesis, and answer questions. The creative process creates, interprets, and expresses art. Inquiry is at the heart of both of these methods. My cryptomatic approach of art, science, and literature centers around four pillars:

A Cosmology of Civilization. This section forms the foundation upon which all my artistic
endeavors rest. It is a personal view upon the reality from a cosmologically perspective through a cryptomathic lens.A Society in Transit concentrates more in detail upon the contemporary challenges that human civilization is facing.Time in Modern Art explores the ways this mysterious dimension has been approached in different art forms, science, and literature.The Chaotium deals with uncertainty and the darker sides of the human experience.

To offer a bird’s view upon my works, I’ve published an artistic diary in which I’ve resumed and catalogized my artistic and literary creations, larded with the thoughts, philosophies, and observations that induced them. Its title is “An Emporium of Order and Chaos” and you can download a free pdf-version by clicking on the book cover below.
