WEIRDSHAPES3

Western contemporary society is increasingly online based, and where identities (formed merely by images and words) can be constructed (and dismantled) so easily, In this way, the self is increasingly virtual. But in the "real world" also exists false realities - for example, the commercial/industry environment and the characters and behaviours which this instills.

This piece is part of a body of work in which I explored ways of manipulating the image of my face digitally. With Western society's increasing co-dependence with on-line and virtual worlds, I want to express the sensation of a fragmented persona.
