Virtual Eye - Conversations Revisited May 2019

We constantly create incidental portraits of ourselves, images left in our environment and in the memories of others. Life as a series of self-presentations. Never before have we exposed and self-curated our personal image to the extent that we do now with social media. Each new presentation develops an increasingly complex, multidimensional sense of an individual. During the past months, I have been using social media with a group of invited participants to share conversations exploring the idea of self in a digital age (Twitter @VirtualEyeArt). Participants have been developing a vocabulary of objects based around 4 themes (Work, Interests, Home, Family). What currently exists is a vocabulary of objects. I now seek feedback on the communicative properties of these objects. Over the next weeks, I will post a series of questions based upon the language of object vocabulary using the themes of Curation, Context, Metaphors, From Universal to Personal, Social Media and Story. I would appreciate your response to the object images. What do the shared objects mean to you? What are we saying with the images we share about ourselves that do not include our own image? If you use Twitter please join the conversations and respond to the questions on Twitter @VirtualEyeArt.
