Identity is an open process that takes form through the optical encounter as well, the interfacial faciality. Humans are initially among faces, only after they fall into the mirror’s reign (Sloterdijk, 1998). Just like the mirror, the screen is both an ego-technical medium and a surface that establishes relations (Carbone, 2016). Starting from Macho’s (2000) idea of the techniques of solitude as doubling techniques, as self-perception strategies, through Lucci’s (2016) articulate re-reading, the study firstly aims to rethink the relationship between identity formation, digital, images (Wulf), from a critical-pedagogical perspective and in the light/shadow of the screen, along a historical-cultural path capable of eluding the technological newism in favour of a media archaeology (Huhtamo, 2004).
