ABSTRACT
Ambitious, thus psychogenic by its nature, the psyborgian entity is defined by a mysterious ectoplasmatic presence, accompanied by a dissociative fugue of consciousness, never anchoring at a fixed point, but constantly shifting and re-uttering its orientation. The psyborg self performs a process of online breathing inhaling and exhaling code or an enthusiastic gasp of digitality 'currents', aspiring to materialize or even sensationalize that which is in fact an immateriality. The psyborg self is broadcasting as an ever-present deus ex machina voice which keeps one in a constant state of distraction. The symptomatology of contemporary digital culture is inscribed on the landscape of the psyborg self, who refutes any pathology, nonetheless hosts one and only 'pathos': that of its ephemeral nature. But 'pathos' this time is not about the comprehension of its nostalgic transience but rather a primordial rendition of the word: the excitement and the momentum inherent in such a vigorous and rapidly evolving digital entity.
