Stuck in a digital bubble

Social Sphere

Constantly engaging with smartphones, tablets and laptops, it seems as if we are being swallowed by our screens. Zeno Koenigs explores this idea in Social Sphere. This mockumentary confronts us with the inescapable outcome of our current behaviour – that we are entirely engulfed in our own digital bubble, becoming little more than touchscreens with legs, otherwise removed from real, physical contact. It may seem futuristic and far-fetched, but make no mistake; the film is based on observations of the present. We are already more disconnected from the world around us than you might think.
