At what point did our idols, thinkers, sages ... become the youtubers and trend characters of today? Children consider that life has to be seen and unique, they become characters worthy of dedicating hours of free time to them, they are so funny! Why do we let the networks drastically affect our reason? Our feelings? Why do they have the power to mold us and turn us into our own show? Why does the banal life of the other become so important for the viewers ?

How is this person who is trained in the mass media? Let us think that mainly in children who are in the process of reasoning and learning, they pay more attention to images than to parents, if the new wise men begin to see of the world that are those who are constantly uploading information to the internet we are facing a child who began to create a character like those he sees every day. And why not later be surprised when the child says to the father: I want to make my account on you tube and be famous and travel all over the world and earn a lot of money making videos of x things. Or maybe you wonder if your child isn't already with a few followers right now and I like him for a cover of how to twerk in 2 minutes.

We create ourselves from what we see, we appropriate gestures, costumes, surgeries, ways of speaking and expressing, we try to imitate everything on the screen. So what we project are residues or fragments of the network, a mutated self is formed by all the media layers that it has absorbed, perhaps wanting to be like them or have something of each would make our figure a person worthy of following or of receive praising comments to feel we are an important part of the virtual village. If they are popular doing and being so, why can't I be?

In this cover of the work of Nam jum Paik Tv Buddha and in the sefies the desire to acquire fame is shown on the one hand and on the other the rapid flow of information, the computer screen is cinema, we change planes at a speed that loses perception of what we see, we glance, we go from here to there from window to window, we spend half a second of video to observe another. What are we creating?
