| Abstract | "This open access collection illuminates how our relational selves, lives, and lifeworlds emerge within digital platforms, media environments, creative media practices, and performances to probe what it means to become "subjective" by evolving in/with a world of relational technologies. It provides a co-existentialist understanding of technological developments of datafication and biometrics. It explores inflection points of change and transformation through new modes of knowing, reflecting, and crafting media futures of relationality.
