Since its inception, the digital world has epitomized the idea of running away from our daily struggles: boredom, isolation, longing, an increasing distance to our loved ones. With the ongoing pandemic, we are in the apotheosis of those issues: constrained to smaller spaces day after day, unable to talk to friends and family face to face, powerless to enjoy the world at its fullest and meet new people. «Tomorrow will be better» because «now» is the era of stagnation. We are escaping forward, returning to the digital utopia, closing the distance between us.
