We inhabit so many

Worlds, worlds, worlds.
This text presents a major idea that most of us could spend hours contemplating. What strikes me is that texts such as this one only provoke more questions, rather than leading to practical answers and I am certainly curious...

Functioning in a "World" inhabited by many and "worlds" inhabited by a singular, subjective, self. This term also seems to function as a point of view or perspective or even identity. How one navigates one's nationality, ethnic identity and other socio/political/cultural markers as well as their own temporal world which seems to change as well chronologically move through time.

What is interesting is how we as media makers, artists, performers etc. construct or perform worlds for an audience. What formal considerations or devices or methodologies do we each use to encourage viewer identification, how is it that we create resonance? How is it that we vivify the life experiences of ourselves and others? Questions...
