Within a dialogue with various authors, it seems that there can’t be just one universal reflection that allows us to comprehend the rising dynamism of new media. For example, Baudrillard declared the end of the traditional way of thinking about contemporary media and showed their role in the process of the endless simulation of truth. It has been shown that the contemporary world of media can be considered in dialogue with the philosophical tradition, and be evaluated in the phenomenological psychopathology (Fuchs) evaluation horizon. In this consideration, the notion of variation (Manovich), plays a key role in replacing the traditionally understood notion of mimesis. Artistic practice is precisely the main exemplar that shows the influence of new media on identity construction (simulated versions of personal identity), as well as the relationship between the artistic original and the copy. Although new digital media allows maintenance of desired (identity) simulations, its great potential is evident in enabling subjects to express their individuality, as well as in searching for new ways to improve their quality of life. This context opens a new problem, namely the one of avatar – a selected photo or image that defines the identity of entities present in the fields of the virtual agora (Baudrillard) and private chat rooms of the social media. Avatar`s function is being problematized by asking whether they represent the reduction and closure of the width of a person's beingness within the set image, or whether they facilitate and stimulate its realization by depriving them of the stress and discomfort that is caused by physical confrontation and intercourse with other persons in the living space. The given issue inevitably points to the problem of the general narcissism of our culture (Lasch), calling upon philosophical orientation to enter the discussion.
Višestruke su posljedice krize na ljudsku psihu i tijelo, a u ovom radu evaluirat ćemo na koji se način ponajprije umjetnici i filozofi nose s krizama u društvu te kolika je snaga i propulzivnost kreativnog umjetničkog izražavanja pri suočavanju s aktualnom pandemijskom krizom. Na primjerima avangardnih pokreta uočavamo da su umjetnici u doba kriza zauvijek promijenili formalne karakteristike umjetnosti, umjetničkog djela, ali također i samo razumijevanje umjetničkog procesa. Povijesnim osvrtom izvodimo hipotezu da su pojedini umjetnički pravci u doba aktualne krize uspjeli opstati na periferiji upravo zbog duha avangarde koji nose u sebi. Filozofija, pak, reflektira krizu sinkrono s novim umjetničkim pokretima, te se čini da i „postmoderna umjetnost“ i fenomenologija idu usuprot same realnosti. U diskurzivni centar rada postavljamo analizu samog tijela koje je, postavljamo hipotezu, tradicionalno bivalo zanemareno i često stavljano na najnižu poziciju ontološke ljestvice pri mnogobrojnim filozofskim pokušajima kroz povijest. Zaključno, nastojat ćemo adekvatno argumentirati temeljnu hipotezu članka da je tijelo samo ekspresija krize, a da njezinu dublju osnovu valja tražiti u ljudskoj psihi i strukturama subjektivnosti koje su je uvjetovale. Pri čemu nastojimo „rasplesati“ i „raživotiti“ digitalnu tehničku statiku aktualnog stanja socijalne distance uzrokovane pandemijskom krizom, prilazeći joj kao svojevrsnoj sublimaciji povijesnih kriza koje su joj prethodile.
