In the ever-changing landscape of artistic expression, we find ourselves drawn to the distinct realms curated by Juergen Teller and Wong Kar-wai, two influential figures situated at unique crossroads of creativity and time. Looking closer into their creations, an enthralling narrative unfolds—a narrative that not only showcases their individual genius but also illuminates the ever-shifting landscape of artistic significance throughout the ages.

 Think ahead to the year 2047... World 1: identity This is a world where people place a lot of value on identity. ICT, called "Explore the Unknown", helps people who are meeting each other for the first time to identify the characteristics of their self-identity, such as their political views, their sense of belonging, their art of expressing themselves, and so on, instead of traditional social constructions such as gender, sexual orientation, nationality, and age.

You would love to join this community if a) you are passionate about Godard films and would like to learn more about his use of film techniques, interviews, personal stories, etc.; b) you want to honor this remarkable filmmaker and would like to share your feelings with people who understand you; c) you are interested in getting to know the most iconoclastic New Wave filmmaker; d) you would like to contribute your knowledge of Godard that more people will appreciate his work and him.  Watch the trailer of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless  (1960) WHY? No matter if you prefer to be a reader, acquiring knowledge of what others have contributed (remember to leave a comment expressing your appreciation:)), or a contributor, being eager to share

       In Erving Goffman's book "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life," published in 1959, he developed the dramaturgical perspective. In it, Goffman offers a framework for comprehending social interaction and behavior by using the metaphor of a theatrical presentation. He contends that social interactions are "performances" put on by "teams" of players in "front stage," "back stage," and "off stage" settings. And when we think about today's online world, human interaction seems to have turned into a more prepared "performance".
