Digital Dilution | The Lost Connection Between the Moment and Self

Digital Dilution explores how the transition from analog to digital media has transformed the way we engage with time, memory, and identity. Through imagery and text, the collection examines how the ease and speed of digital technology have distanced us from fully experiencing the moment. It reflects on the emotional and personal disconnection that has emerged in the shift to a more fragmented, fleeting digital culture.

Digital Dilution | The Lost Connection Between the Moment and Self

Digital Dilution explores how the transition from analog to digital media has transformed the way we engage with time, memory, and identity. Through imagery and text, the collection examines how the ease and speed of digital technology have distanced us from fully experiencing the moment. It reflects on the emotional and personal disconnection that has emerged in the shift to a more fragmented, fleeting digital culture.

Digital Dilution is a multimedia collection featuring two sister books and a video that explores the shifting relationship between analog and digital media and how this transition shapes our connection to the moment and ourselves.
Each book is divided into six chapters— half examining time, physicality, and identity in each medium, and the other half sharing personal stories reflecting these themes. The books are in a vellum bag reminiscent of receiving developed photos, and their exposed spines evoke a stack of prints, underscoring the tactile, nostalgic feel of analog media.

Book 01 embraces the mindful, deliberate nature of analog photography with minimal text, wide spacing, and folios inspired by film photo markings.
Book 02 highlights the disconnection that can accompany digital media through blurred imagery, fragmented text, and denser layouts that echo the overwhelming abundance of digital snapshots. Both volumes include a set of photo printouts, further engaging readers in the physical aspect of memory. Ultimately, Digital Dilution invites reflection on how our choice of medium influences how we perceive and preserve our lives.
