Abstract

Curiosity and urgency inhabit our days. The response to a message, which arrives in the middle of the night, seems uncontrollable. The reason for this appeal is simple: the idea of identity was created, based on a communicational performance. There is no one, outside a digital universe, outside a community, who is always giving reason for its “transparency” and its obligations. Any and all forms of success and existence involve the communicational game imposed by digital devices, therefore, it is inevitable that “salvation” is presented in technological terms, with evangelical contours, that is, as a technological Pentecost.
