In digital environments, identity is increasingly shaped by design. From interfaces and avatars to algorithmic aesthetics, the self is no longer simply expressed but constructed—raising new questions about agency, authenticity and how we see ourselves.
Across Europe, identity is increasingly shaped by visibility. As creators turn the self into content and currency, the boundary between personal expression and economic performance blurs—raising questions about authenticity, autonomy and the cost of being constantly seen.
