Digital Self meets Web3 – An exploration of the intricacies of self portraiture at the intersection of art, technology and economics.
Notions of identity and self-representation in the digital realm opened up a vast array of shapes and forms. Fuelled by inherent incentive mechanisms of social networks the virtual Self is barely self-directed, instead it requires human or non-human peers to shape it. A performance of self-commodification that eventually leads to dehumanise the Self into a figure that merely hints a human representation.
