COVID’s impact on working from home is a realistic example on the liquid life. Deuze’s concept of “personal information spaces” is the environment that many of us are locked into when working remotely, as the separation between uni/work/home becomes blurred and intertwined. This contrast between social isolation and connection to the world occurs everytime we close our bedroom door and log into a group call for uni, although we are by ourselves we are also connecting with our peers and tutors kilometres aways.
The Black Dog Institute and other mental health organisations have many checklists and sources for advice to help assist people in essentially the liquid life, as many people undertake remote work. A big part of this is setting up “boundaries” between work and home by organising a schedule. But a huge part of the liquid life is the “blurring of modern life’s traditional boundaries”.
