AB - The fundamental question surrounding the community is where do I feel I belong. Today the ‘community’ is extremely divided, and the cause needs to be ascertained. It is necessary to pay attention to the concept of ‘dividual’ in Deleuze’s ‘societies of control’. Dividuals are created when surfing the Internet using IDs and passwords. The pre-modern community was established on territorial contiguity, and the modern community could be unified on the ground based on the belief that people felt one through common language and mass media. However, as we enter today’s hyper-connected network society, a postmodern community or a divided community has become visible. Social media is at the heart of such kind of society. Unlike the one-to-many vertical ways of transmission of mass media, social media connects many-to-many horizontally. In this process, regardless of spatial proximity, connections by electronic devices and subsequent divisions occur. Humans are connected, but at the same time dispersed and divided. In this way, a digital tribe of dividuals is formed. Individuals become dividuals and communities are divided. In general, people are pessimistic about this situation. However, if the individual is a product formed due to the needs of modern capitalism, dividuals also have the possibility of being a starting point for a new human. The touchstone would be how to play the roles of a dividual.
