The digital conscious: the becoming of the Jungian collective unconscious

Abstract

The rise of the digital domain has created a new virtual world that is eternal and ethereal and with it, has created a philosophical entropy state where more than ever technology has superseded cultural thought and ethics. What Jung once described as the collective unconscious was deemed once as being parapsychology or too esoteric is now a conscious reality of creation. We now, accidentally or intentionally, take part in creating a collective unconscious that more than ever has a visible presence and massive direct and indirect effect on our cultural groups as well as having a global unconscious appeal.
