“My job is to teach you how to use digital to change your mental processes. I always work with creative people, who, however, fail to see in the means available to them an invitation to use them in a personal way. To put your own. Social, for example, works when you work. There is no secret recipe, apart from yourself”. So what prevents you from taking the opportunity to be and do what you want? “It is convenient to think that nothing can change because we are victims of circumstances. But this historic moment is ideal for even inventing how to use technology. After digital literacy, we need creative literacy. The problem is that all this puts us in front of the freedom to manifest and express ourselves. A possibility that is terrifying” concludes Mafe.
We are fragile, we know little, we cannot imagine the future in a few months. But we can decide to be fast or slow, digital or analog. Certainly the existence of these times is an undeniable overlap of both.
