Abstract
Creating and developing an online personality has become a part of our daily social life. Who we claim to be and who we actually are often differ. Strangely enough it is the exact moment of creating online content where these two opposites inevitably clash. Blink is a work about the wait for a reaction, for validation from the outer world that only emphasizes utter loneliness and ultimately points out the relativity of time, space and the self. “Who are you?“ That is a question that gets asked in a moment supposed to express the utmost confidence in one’s own identity. A lot can happen during that blink of an eye.
