[Ai translation: Journaling the Möbius of Time: A Reflexive Account of Digital, Cultural, and Archival Practices

Abstract: This experimental narrative articulates a thematic loop connecting the past, present, and future within a "Möbius day-Z chain," juxtaposing cultural references with personal reflections on sustainability and accountability in digital spaces. Outcomes include continued archival maintenance and creative outputs, emphasizing a dada-driven ethos that rejects commodification and prioritizes authenticity. The author critiques the exploitation of social media as a vehicle for misinformation and dehumanization, advocating for direct, interpersonal communication and analog methodologies (e.g., bookstore outreach). In analyzing health data, cultural consumption, and environmental crises, the narrative underscores the parasitic tensions of existence within digital and ecological systems. Conclusions point to the imperative of living authentically within self-imposed ethical constraints, maintaining a balance between creation, critique, and consumption.]
