"A minha pátria é a língua portuguesa" - lá dizia o poeta. Para dominar várias línguas, temos de ter várias pátrias? O Inglês é a pátria universal da suposta aldeia global? Se desconstruir a minha língua sou um terrorista antipatriota? Questionar é sempre um bom modo de chegar a algum lado...

UBIQUITY

Social networks, status, posts & moods;
profiles, photos & comments.
You’ve got mail.
(which you’s?)

Acquiring God-like features on-line:
Freezing time and memories
- life on the fast lane
or detached in a broader view;
Scanning through other peoples’ life’s
- communication is always available,
but who’s calling? (and who’s praying?);
Changing identities, morphing personalities
- a refuge against the image of myself reflected upon others,
a game played outside physical or temporal borders;
Creating life and myths
- simple and friendly-user programs and software
grow, change, evolve in a Darwinistic “survival of the fittest”;
Imposing laws in the midst of chaos
- the brave new world of the www is ordered & re-arranged,
but we cannot live inside the codes we’ve created.

As we couldn’t brake down the codes in which we live,
we have created simpler ones and manufactured entire realities.
We are the Gods of cyberspace, but
Why this sense of ubiquity feels so lonely
?
