2022 Playlist — Wwww3 Video

Curated in the rearview mirror of the pandemic era, The Fractured Mirror is a video playlist documenting the pivotal year of 2022. This was the year the internet stopped being a singular place and became a layered reality. Through a curated selection of viral clips, documentary excerpts, and digital art pieces, this playlist captures the moment the "World Wide Web" (WWW) began its metamorphosis into something more fragmented, volatile, and human.

The playlist opens with the cracks in the algorithm. In 2022, the infinite scroll began to stutter. This segment features footage of the "Great Decoupling"—clips of users realizing that their feeds were no longer showing them the world, but rather a reflection of their own anxieties. We see the rise of BeReal and the desperate search for authenticity amidst the curated perfection of the "Instagram Face." wwww3 video 2022 playlist
