THE HYBRID ERA
THE HYBRID ERA
Digital transitions and gender fluidity
MAY 2024 - SIXTH SENSE

"Welcome to the hybrid era, the most recent of the metamorphoses and reincarnations of the Information Age"
Parag e Ayesha Khanna
What does technology have to do with gender fluidity? Apparently nothing. Digital, however, has undeniably allowed the proliferation of hybrid forms, straddling the physical and the virtual. This, on a semantic level, is as if it were the double of body and identity. The former is tangible, material, like physical reality, and the latter is intangible, but existing.
The virtual gives us the illusion of having the gift of ubiquity. You can be here. And, opening another window, be somewhere else. At the same time. Digital technology has challenged the idea of borders. Between public and private, between real and unreal, between physical and virtual, between nature and technology.
And the multiple and hybrid identity, also thanks to fashion, has, literally, encroached on her own bodies.
We try to wear Marsèll shoes and Cristiano Burani clothes and we immediately acquire a new identity. Quoting the philosopher Emanuele Coccia: “it is as if through fashion, our deepest psyche, the one that hides under the self and identities, finds a platform for play, freedom and infinite expression”.


Fresh, delicate daisies hug the tulle of the chest and They loosen the hips, like a promise of spring.



From revolution red to blue, passing through purple,
The colors hybridize until they blend into each other on the black of the lips.


Fishnet stockings, like spiders' webs, are the material testimonies of
multiple voices, of an increasingly prolific and speaking web.
