This link is to an article that assists my overall interest in modernism, but more specifically provides context for my futures project when looking at disconnect in a modern world: a basis for my exploration of how this may worsen in the future. The article discusses loneliness in a modern world where certain things prevent human interaction. He also discusses negative feelings like isolation as due to a lack of identity with the self; a disconnect.
“The suffocating condition of loneliness is the consequence of feeling isolated, disconnected, and adrift, not of being alone. It is related to loss – of a loved one, of a childhood, of an undefined relationship with oneself.”
