Modern digital setups have made it feasible to create new fictional objects to create various kinds of narratives that respond to human experiences in spaces laden with many spatial dimensions (physical, digital, and symbolic), in short periods of time. Certain narratives come from personal fictions, while others come from social fictions. Others transcend the social dimension, while some are developed in each person's physical structure. To manage the energy of the universe that enables humanity to feed and recreate itself in harmony with nature, every narrative is ultimately a symbolic construction that navigates between the real and the imagined, analog and digital, personal and social dimensions.
A literature review is presented to identify connections between digital configurations and hybrid cultures that, when articulated with some of Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics (1974) and with the assistance of the artificial intelligence model GPT-3.5 of OpenAI (2023), structure a means of communicating the Digital Closeness model of the Digital University Institution of Antioquia (2023).
When perceived as a human tissue supported by affection, digital closeness suggests that people transit between different cultures and geographies in order to grow and express a common spirit. A spirit willing to listen to those who think differently to favor close encounters. A shared spirit that is fostered at the public digital university with the goal of encouraging peace and citizenship.
