Blurb on Unlinked

This year’s graduation show of the Master of Media Design & Communication (Lens-Based & Networked) at the Piet Zwart Institute perhaps reflects a shift in popular culture. Whereas no self-respecting media self-help book or newspaper article published in the last decade missed having 'linked' or 'stay connected' in the title, a more recent rash of articles and runaway best sellers feature words such as 'introvert' or 'silence.' Have we reached a consensual moment where we might all agree it has become urgently necessary to critically look at how the words 'social' and 'media' might be used together?
