In a world where influence, reach and impact that are largely measured by number of posts, likes, retweets, reads and followers, I am definitely absent or could be presumed dead (in the media-world). To date (5 March 2023 to be exact), I have 4 posts on Instagram, 3 of which were added in the last week (with a daughter as my source and influence).
I have 3 followers and 7 following. So no, I am not a social media influencer. I do not offer social media presence. How could I? I have none. Besides such presence does not interest me. A presence dictated by the datafication of persons and individuals is in fact an absent-minded way of being in the world that disconnects us from being present by the constant drip of divergent points of views. One is always prompted to take sides, assume labels and tags and fit in a mirrored box of constant scrutiny. Be noticed or notified.
I am not here to be consumed as you would news, posts or selfies. I don’t necessarily have tips or secrets to share about how-to-do’s or even clever quotes, crafts or recipes to pin on my facebook page or tweet on twitter. I am not here to DIY you or me. I am here to connect with you in the present moment in a way that I get to read what you would willingly share, hear what you would openly say and look you in the eye even through the screen and sense your being alive.
I invite you to an encounter through a conversation via chat, a virtual meetup on Google Meet, MS Teams or Zoom. If you have found me despite my absence perhaps there is a ‘force of nature’ that brought you here :).
