Iteration #5 explanation
Experiment: Translating the social cyber world into the reality.
Funny how we've come to this. Were we document our activities on Facebook. I've always thought it to be absurd. Is it merely just to gain 'likes' and therefore seeking approval from your circle of friends? If that is the case, then what? What's next after you get the tick of approval? If our self-worth is measured by the 'likes' in a virtual reality - does that mean the documentation we post online is carefully curated in order to go collect these thumb up symbols? What if we were more direct in posting up the document? In my final iteration, I've translated the sheer act of documenting sentiments to reality by wearing it out in public for everyone to see.Â
Iteration 5
For my final iteration I decided to explore the most edited version of myself. After observing the amount that the code and information we construct defines us, I wanted to see how much that changes who we are. By using sites such as http://www.wolframalpha.com/ and http://youarewhatyoulike.com/ I was able to analyse all the data that composes my digital self.
What I observed was a separate entity. The data I have been inputting into my Facebook for years has not only edited me, but constructed an entire new being with it’s own relationships (see the friend web in the Wolfram results), personality and consciousness. 4/5 of the qualities that You Are What You Like defined as my own, I think are the opposite of myself.
To evoke this further, I experimented with the idea of giving this entity it’s own voice. By using http://what-would-i-say.com/ I was able to generate statements solely from the information within this online being and digitise the voice. Many of the statements made little sense but they were constructed and edited from my own words.
What all these iterations has showed me is that editing a person, editing yourself, is far more prevalent then I realised. The fact that without even trying I have constructed and edited another version of myself is crazy and I think gives me a resounding answer to the concept I first began experimenting with:
"How do I edit myself?"
Iteration 5
Well, it's time to reveal my secret project. Iteration five is a mostly text based work designed to erase the way you see the previous iterations. I'll keep this text brief because I feel that it explains itself pretty well. It's not a short read but hopefully not too boring.
Iteration 5: Erasure of sight
While we use many different kinds of tools such as maps and GPSs, sight is also a tool which we use to guide ourselves around.
I got this last iteration idea of myself trying to navigate around my house finding an item blindfolded from the second iteration. If we know the paths by heart, then there is no point to erase them since the map itself is like printed in our memory, but without sight, it would be hard for us to get from one place to another as we cannot see where exactly our location is at.
Even though I'm familiar with my house, I still bumped into quite a few furniture and walls as I don't know where I am in the house, and this would be much more difficult if I was blindfolded outdoor.

Assignment 3 - Iteration 5: Spot The Difference [Part 3/3] - Finished Edit
Here's the finished edit. The top is the original and the bottom is the edit.
There are 13 differences.
Spot The Difference?!
Assignment 3 - Iteration 5: Spot The Difference [Part 2/3] - Editing
When I was editing I was thinking of hard and easy differences I could create. Taking tips on other spot the difference games to see things I could duplicate, erase, and replace.
Underneath is the edited image.
Assignment 3 - Iteration 5: Spot The Difference [Part 1/3] - Taking The Photo
For this iteration I decided to do Spot The Difference.
For the first part, I walked around campus to find a location that I can photograph and edit. I ended up with the Quadrangle. Above is the photo I photographed with my Canon 60D and will be using for this iteration.
