We are, we will be, we try to be, we could be, we believe we are, we reflect on being, in the end, what are we? What will we be? ... The selfie has taken the power to portray ourselves, to create digital self-portraits, to create identifications. Why does identity change so quickly? How do we see ourselves? We started to self, self-portrait, self-imagine, self-represent, self-edit ... and for this we have a number of filters and editors on our cell phone, everything became within reach of our hands.
In Be (ser) we can see how all these leaks are generated through the devices, but not only that, but in each image 6 applications downloaded from my Smartphone have interfered, by taking the editions to an extreme starting with makeup, then change physical, then two color editions, saturation, corrections, etc. and finally applying the last touches and movement with 2 other applications was somewhat exhausting and tedious, it had a thousand possible combinations to be able to be. Sometimes increasing one edition or another could generate a disappearance of the initial image, if we consider that we could become data, we must be careful because possibly an error in some number and our image could not be as we want or disappear on the network, nobody will want that and less in our society of the spectacle.
.
Identity is not only formed from the image, but also from what we see, hear, read and do. If we are in a media world, we capture most of the things online. When looking at my Facebook, which I don't usually do, and mainly when I was on the street, I observed that people were very involved with the application, I decided to look at it for a long time. I collected all the videos that I saw, but what do we see commonly in these applications? Laughter videos, videos of people being ridiculous, advertisements, etc.
I wondered, what are we left with? What emotions are there? A lot of laughter, if it's true, spend a long time entertaining, it makes us happy, doesn't it? But we observe so much media load that the image, the video, the spectacle that is formed begins to be confusing, it is a space that can be seen in silence but is constantly screaming, in our headphones, in soft volume, we are screaming, the projections become superfluous with lack of receptivity, the only thing we can get out of Well, we had a good time, an instant satisfaction.
The video and the sound when projected become a load of sensitivity, in a boisterous silence of the network, in abstractions that we cannot identify, in sounds that become neutral, become unnecessary, inportant, what happens if these devices become become our daily well-being? When looking at my cell phone, what do I get in the end? Obsolescence haunts us and after something we saw is an old story, having so many things in mind, so many images, etc. makes us sick, I think staying online makes us sick.
