Redefine the borders of our personal and public persona.
Public Persona
However, I decdided the idendity, which just reprents the data I produced to be mapped down, is not enough.
I would rather focus on the public persona. The image I created of myself. The public persona is a bit more than just the digital identity. It is connected to perceptions.
This part of my work was influenced by a documentation I saw on the topic of Metamorphosis.

>> Digital Identity and Public Persona
With my work I want to suggest a new way of looking at our publicly available data, I want to suggest to discover it through the Eyes of Ovid, the old greek poet. In his work Metamorphosis he describes a world which sounded like complete fiction. It is a world in which “picking the wrong flower can lead to a total loss of the self” and to a transformation of the own body. In a very bizarre way this image has more actuality than ever. A few wrong steps mediated in the wrong context can lead to a complete new image of the self which can affect our well-being.
How did I get here?
My whole work got influenced by project work I conducted in Portsmouth in the unit Digital Futures.
