| Abstract: These pieces are an exploration of narcissism and self-representation on social-networking sites, and the internet in general. Do the anonymity and abstraction offered by the internet allow for more personal and intimate projections of the self than are possible in real life? Technical: These images are created by compositing (combining/layering) groups of exisiting photographs (or other images) into single works. The process is achieved by manually aligning each image, then scanning and layering them using custom written software that began its life as the News Porn project. The intent of these works is to discover the patterns, trends and truth that may be collectively found in the vocabulary of the photographic arts. |
