Essays on digital culture, media, attention, and the strange ways people experience information online.
This is where I write more freely. About media, internet life, visual language, film, online behavior, and the cultural side of communication. Some pieces are analytical, some more reflective, but all of them come from the same interest in how people interpret the world around them.

Aura, NFTs, and an Old Problem in a New Interface
NFTs and AI art did not create a new problem. They brought back an old one in a different interface. This essay looks at Walter Benjamin’s idea of aura, the logic of blockchain scarcity, and the growing crisis of authorship in AI art to ask a harder question: what still makes a work feel authentic when everything can be copied.
