Truth, time and authenticity on InstagramDelighted to be sharing a new piece of writing, 'Truth, time and authenticity on Instagram', written for the Cognitive Sensations blog.
"Worth shares with us her research exploring the relationship between Instagram and time. In her essay she compares the intention behind Instagram to portray the 'right here right now', with the more realistic framing of posting culture, which encourages a more crafted approach to publicising one's activity. Worth poses that instead of acting as a record, Instagram posts convey an element of a testimonial." Read the full essay HERE. Very excited to be participating on the 'Cognitive Conversations' Panel at FACT as part of the 'Cognitive Conversations' programme.
