Opis

In the digital age, marked by the expansion of social networks, the rise of AI and the climate crisis, the boundaries of what we consider desirable, acceptable and possible are being challenged at unprecedented speed. Human desires, which for centuries were seen as "internal forces" that push us to seek fulfillment, are now mediated and, in many cases, shaped by "invisible algorithms," validation platforms and global economies that exploit human insatiability. This new landscape invites us to rethink the boundaries of desire, from an ethical and psychoanalytic perspective, linking the exploration of the unconscious with the moral dilemmas of our era. The influence of algorithms in our lives is undeniable. These sets of rules and procedures that govern a myriad of digital processes have transformed the way we interact with the world and with each other. From personalized Netflix recommendations to predictive policing systems, algorithms have become a pervasive and powerful force in the digital age.
