Representational Action/Idea - Shit (literally)
For my self-portraits I decided to play with the idea of internet social network culture and nostalgic computer culture. The first three images were taken in PhotoBooth on my Mac using the backdrop effect. By intentionally interfering with the background detection during this process, I was able to get the exaggerated abstract overlays on the image. Additionally, the background pictures I chose of Encarta 95 and Solitaire have a nostalgic, retro computer feel because of their reference to old programs and operating systems. Finally, the last image is a screenshot from a video chat website similar to ChatRoulette. Even though it's inherently creepy and perverse, I wanted it to take on a satirical feel from the stereotypical content which exemplifies how video sites are most commonly used for sexual exploitations.
