With the adoption of new informational technologies on a global scale, the cyberspace has pervasively entered the lives of more than half of world’s population. The incidence of digital code seems to have no boundaries and to invest every aspect of humans existence, arranging behaviours and translating innermost desires, as well as fears, into data reserves potentially available for indefinite uses.

Is the digital info-sphere a new form of environment which hosts our interactions in a dimension outside the space-time continuum where the boundaries between what is virtual and what is real fade away? Or is it, simply put, just the latest technological articulation of homo sapiens, capable from the very beginning of the species to detach from what is current and transcend it by means of a language?

Whatever the answers the evidences of our daily lives shows that by giving us unprecedent operational capabilities, digital technology ended up reshaping our notion of real and led us to fully inhabit its syntactic structures.

Currently under studies of experts without previous knowledge about them, the digital natives are those humans resulting by the global digital revolution who has developed social and cognitive dynamics fully formed through the use of connected devices since birth: living both offline and online the two dimensions are no longer separable for them and constitute a single hybrid support in which their life is inscribed.

With this project, still in progress, I aimed to explore the impacts of digital code on contemporary youth population: focusing on primary activities such as gaming, learning, sexuality, work, defence, religion and sociality, the project has been carried on as a documentary campaign over a disseminated geography – currently covering 14 countries – during the very first decades of formation of the so called homo digitalis.
