In an interview on ERT3’s ‘Mera me Choroma,’ composer and pianist Menelaos Peistikos discussed the deceptive nature of reality presented through screens and the growing online addiction affecting youth. He highlighted how mobile devices serve as tools for self-affirmation rather than communication, exacerbated by algorithms that present appealing content. Peistikos also addressed the challenges posed by mass culture and its influence on individual identity, elaborating on concepts from his book ‘Makarioi Theates.’
