-how do current technologies contribute to how we see the camera.
We want to document every aspect of our day
Frame the highlights of our life.
Our food, our workouts, all theses highlights of our life that we wouldn't typically share with the rest of the world.
In a way every Instagram post is a performance for the camera.
What are the implications of living our life through photographs? Having them digitally archived so we can look back on them years to come.
Our grandchildren can see what we ate on May 2012 if they want.
think about our digital shadow. but maye crop out the actual food or experience were ingaging in? color block it out.
so its nothing but the camera. maybe the person too?

Staged/Constructed
Im interested in this constructed identity and modes of branding oneself. It seems like everyone is tying to project this image of what the want people to see. Specifically on Instagram -twitter?
Social media as a tool for creating an identtiy. You could really fake a whole existance by just editing photos on instagram.
why not use twitter for piece? if your just using words
handwritten vs. type? hadwritten is still personal
"I'm happy and riding a horse"
"I go to museums"Ect.
*maybe it would be intresting to do a collective of photographs from diffrent poeple with those sayings
*Maybe it would be even cooler to do a series of notes that are screen shotted for photos just saying the text
*should it only exist as an istagram?
*they should be dry and funny
Think about the information sans image.
The piece would be a construction of a multitude of selves.
Absurd amount of hashtags trying to connect with others.

-notions of public vs. privite
-social media art and explore my emerging belief that mainstream social media, particularly those that utilize a news feed as a one-stop area for updates, represent a new form of public space and therefore an opportunity to develop a new form of public art.
- striking aspect of social media art is that it contains facets of net.art, by being digital; visual art, by existing on a two-dimensional surface; public art, by existing in spaces used habitually by hundreds of millions of people; and performance art, by being inherently social
1. The web plays a key role not just in the marketing or sourcing of the art but the *expression* of the art. The art must be adapted to the device or platform; it has to respond specifically to the online space. There’s a small but important semantic difference between art on Twitter and Twitter art. The former suggests the traditions of art moved into Twitter, while the latter suggests art in which Twitter is seamlessly integrated. I can’t help but think of the early movies coming out of Hollywood, where the camera was set still; it was simply theater brought to film. As Christi Nielsen told me, “We have to make something specific to this medium, to this space.”
2. The art involves the audience in some fashion; it is inherently a social medium. Many would disagree, but in my opinion, the most exciting social media art inspires the crowd to co-create the work in some fashion; it is inherently social. Just as the social web has opened the doors for would-be photographers, op-ed writers, and other fields traditionally restricted to those with professional training, so should social media art open the doors for would-be artists. Whether or not we want to measure success by numerical engagement is a question, I think, that’s up for debate.
One of Nina Meledandri's responses to my 1stfans Twitter project, which involved Morse code.
3. The art is accessible beyond a “typical” art world audience while still being conceptually rich.In some sense, as Jonny Gray brought up, social media art reawakens the folk art tradition: “Folk art may have recognizable (and often recognized) practitioners, but the tradition itself blurs the line between artist and audience (I mean in situ more than when it is cultural display for the tourists’ gaze). Folk art is of and by the people.” And yet, as cultural consumers, we must apply the same critical eye to social media art that we do to contemporary fine art and continue to evaluate the work against the artist’s intent. Which leads us to my final point …
4. The bottom line: it’s all about the artist’s intent. Above all, when critiquing a social media art piece, I find the same rules apply: it’s most important to understand the artist’s intent, and how successfully she or he actualized it. But, as Joanie San Chirico suggested, the audience’s influence can alter a piece: “The artist’s intent has to be fluid and may even completely transform before the completion of the work.”
- pushing a new definition of access: one that doesn’t require physical proximity.
-By then, of course, we may no longer think of the work as social media art, so blurry will the distinction be between our online and offline worlds. It will, perhaps, just be art.
-http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2014/03/14/how-social-media-affects-our-self-perception/
-We are conditioned to project only our best, albeit unrealistic, selves on our social media profiles as a modern way of virtually keeping up with the Joneses.
-The ideal self is the self we aspire to be.
-Carl Rogers’s theory of personality, every human has the basic instinct to improve herself and realize her full potential. Like Abraham Maslow, he called this achievement self-actualization.
-job postings that insist you have a strong ‘social media presence.’ LinkedIN
-We have a general persona we construct and put out to the cyber universe based on the person we want to be, and more important, based on the person we want to be seen as.
