' I am interested in the influence of the environment on humans and the distribution of roles (actor and object on which action is taken) within such a system. When you look at a person as an object included in a series of fatal, predetermined events, it turns out that human habitats are endowed with more subjectivity than themselves. Such forms of habitat can also be called social groups, locations, countries, or sources of information.The closed-off nature of such systems induces their autonomy in which they can be seen as an actor endowed with certain behaviors. Such an actor sets certain rules of existence for parts of the system within.
It can be assumed that while inside such a system, one resorts to various methods of mimicry, for example, clothing, as a protective shell with some therapeutic properties. Adherence to fashion or subcultures, the transformation of one’s body can also serve as a way of embedding in a particular environment. So, “choice of appearance,” I consider, as adaptation to a social group or location, within which it is comfortable to exist.
Manufacturability is one of the means that facilitates the choice of such a shell: you can be present on the Internet in the image you want or you can adjust your figure to the complete unrecognizability. Does such technology benefit humans or create another habitat that selects its participants?
In its practice, as the extreme form of such disguising an object as an environment,
I’m looking at the topic of escapism: in a disaster situation, escapism may be a possible option for safety. The escape from reality in such a situation is predestined by the environment.'__
