Double Identity

It has been 5 days since I put the posters below on campus, and they have been met with mixed perception. I have received a lot of positive feedback about the posters themselves, with many of the subjects friends taking posters for themselves, but I have not gotten anything in terms of increased followers and submissions.

I think that one of the biggest things that the arts and humanities does for me as I am trying to pry, is not only to explore tough human questions, but how to make these questions compelling enough to stir up activity within a community. Many people still believe that my project is interesting and has merit, but it has not riled up enough people to create a response. 

The question then is what questions to ask. What questions on the subject of identity needs to be answered? what to people want to discuss most? Is there a place for interaction within this, or do they want to be guided through a pre made discussion? 

These are the questions that are driving my process forward right now. In the meantime, enjoy the posters and submit any of your feelings about the subject on identity you see fit.

Dear Internet,

Where do I begin? We were introduced in school, but funnyjunk, albinoblacksheep, and homestarrunner are where we really started to hit it off. Our relationship has only grown since then. Today I freaked out because I thought my mom’s birthday was yesterday, Turns out, it is actually next month. But Ill never forget My HBO GO password, or how that password was given to me by some random girl who I went on 2 dates with from OK Cupid. 

Internet, I just can’t get enough of you. Whether it be Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Snapchat, reddit, Chess.com, or even Twitter, you endlessly fascinate me. Things got dark in high school when I used you for 4chan... but that’s behind us now. Today, you are me, and I am you. My online presence is an integral part of my identity. I, Like many of my peers, make references to memes and Facebook, posts in real life conversations. 

You bring out the best and worst in me. My Facebook is my ideal representation of my self: each picture and post is created to show Jim Jame at his best. One day, we will reach the technological singularity, and we will be married forever. 

Peace out internet, gotta do some stuff IRL...

xoxo
