The volume of media captured defies comprehension. It is empyrean in volume, flip-flopping beyond theory into the theology of bytes, for how could so many selfies be contained within the physics of our world?

\nMy reaction was, “Well of course it is!”
\nIn a virtual space, continually producing artifacts of yourself is required as it’s literally the only possible way to exist because no shared physical presence is possible. Even when I attend remote meetings, there are demands for me to prove my authenticity by activating my microphone or camera to produce artifacts that prove my self.
In the infinitely copyable void of the internet, new activity has become the only option for an identity to exist.
