What is it about?
This article explores the Infrapersonal—the process by which digital systems are absorbed and transform human subjectivity. Using psychoanalytic and philosophical frameworks, this study investigates how algorithmic platforms shape unconscious experience, fragment identity, and mediate relational existence at the crossroads of language, power, and technology. The work investigates how the continued coexistence of the digital and physical worlds is profoundly reshaping human awareness and interpersonal relationships.
