Parallax

Where are we in this 'time between worlds', and what are the possible and probably outcomes of our current trajectories. We are facing a crisis, while at the same time out institutions do not seem fit or able to solve these problems. At the same time, our myths and narratives don´t work anymore, the postmodern policies of deconstruction have for better or worse - negated our way of reducing complexity. Is the west going to fall, as Oswald Sprengler once put it? Is the chaos going to increase till we find a new way of life? Or is it as it ever was, men struggling to find meaning in a complex world? Can digital provide us with the means to reconstruct the myth and narrative?
