Abstract

IN ENGLISH: This paper explores the phenomenon of isolation in modern digital society. The topic was developed with a group of 90 IT design students in two generations. The positive and negative aspects of isolation are presented through the eyes of the students of the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences. An initiative and incentive is the project entitled Isolated people and communities in Slovenia and Croatia - Isolation (IPS-2022-02-3741). The project itself examines the contemporary isolation in both countries, Slovenia and Croatia. The perception of isolation is different for each person and does not necessarily involve geographic or spatial isolation. One would think that isolation would be minimized today, in the digital age where the Internet and social networks bring us all together. Isolation has been given new frameworks that affect the lives of individuals and communities. During a semester in 2022/2023 under our mentorship the IT design students of the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences dealt with the concept of isolation, its perception and as a result of this reflection they produced and presented their interpretation of the concept of isolation and they visualized their understanding of the problem creating graphic works. During this process students were encouraged to use available digital media, anthropological knowledge and express themselves through graphic design. The selected student works presented in this paper show various interpretations of isolation including social, individual, spatial and digital. Students have explored and we are presenting in this paper how the different types of isolation shape their own values and attitudes in the contemporary context. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Ovaj rad istražuje fenomen izolacije u suvremenom digitalnom društvu. Tema je razvijena u suradnji s 90 studenata Informacijskog dizajna Tehničkog veleučilišta u Zagrebu tijekom dvije generacije. Pozitivni i negativni aspekti izolacije analizirani su iz perspektive studenata. Poticaj za ovo istraživanje bio je projekt Izolirani ljudi i zajednice u Sloveniji i Hrvatskoj (IPS-2022-02-3741), koji proučava suvremene oblike izolacije u ovim dvjema zemljama. Izolacija se doživljava na različite načine, kako individualno tako i kolektivno, i ne mora nužno podrazumijevati geografsku ili prostornu udaljenost. Iako bi se moglo pretpostaviti da digitalno doba, s internetom i društvenim mrežama, smanjuje izolaciju, novi oblici izolacije i dalje utječu na živote pojedinaca i zajednica. Tijekom akademske godine 2022./2023., pod mentorstvom autora, studenti su analizirali koncept izolacije te kroz grafičke radove vizualno predstavili svoje razumijevanje problema. U ovom procesu poticano je korištenje digitalnih medija, antropoloških uvida i kreativnog izražavanja putem grafičkog dizajna. Odabrani radovi predstavljeni u ovom članku nude različite interpretacije izolacije, uključujući društvenu, individualnu, prostornu i digitalnu dimenziju. Istraživanjem su studenti, kao i autori, pokazali kako različiti oblici izolacije oblikuju osobne i društvene vrijednosti te stavove u suvremenom kontekstu.
