Part one of my final project for my
SCRIPPS ART 141: Digital Imaging Class
Project 2A: Static Identity
This project is going in a slightly different direction - more towards personal and individual issues rather than societal and environmental problems. The quote taken from the prompt is pinpointing my main point. People have several identities in the world now. Their physical, emotional, and cyber ones are just a few examples. You can be whomever you want to be online, and that creates an alternate personality for many people. There are people who live a second life through an avatar on online sites. On top of this, once you've created an avatar or a social networking site, you are completely vulnerable to being hacked. People can steal identities and create havoc amongst people's lives. The TV at the back signifies the static of the cyberspace we live in. It is not stable, it is hard to understand, and it's all blurred into one big bunch. I used children for the face because they are the new generation. Children are growing up on video games and technology, hardly writing and reading. They will grow up to have multiple personalities as well. Hopefully none of us, or them, will lose sight of who we are, and what number we are in the world.
