Abstract
This article aims to trace the relationship between the existential boredom exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the narratives communicated through technical images by the media. It examines the effect such narratives might have on the individual, and whether they offer a way out of the existential boredom/emptiness, or whether they magnify this experience.
