DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :The Virtual Shepherd: Love and Screen Addiction at the End of the World is a photographic and video exploration of Ali, a young shepherd in Iran’s remote 70 Peaks Valley. In the 2010s, he managed a Telegram chat with over 5,000 members, sustaining a vibrant online life he called majāzi — “the virtual.” The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the surreal intersection of rural life and digital connectivity, where the smartphone becomes a site of desire, longing, and endless scrolling. Even as platforms change, the experience of being online remains strikingly familiar.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=15162
