Abstract
Covid 19 has hit our lives in India 2020.
This locked people inside their homes. Locked in their houses, they explored
two spaces particularly. One is the space of Balcony and the other is algorithm
induced space such as Facebook and Instagram. This paper attempts to read the
sociality produced by these two spaces in relation to each other. Both worked
as a window to the outside world and produced similar kinds of experiences.
There are certain similarities in the kind of sociality algorithm and balcony
produce. Both created sociality where one can enter the space and leave it
anytime.
