Harkening back to Mia Zamora’s project from 2018 create a photo representation of yourself that does not include your face.

Make and share an Unselfie.

The act of identity construction performed online is at once a private and individual performance… but it is also a communal and public activity.

A major question comes out of this: What layers of our true selves can be shared in a selfie? What are ways to share an authentic version of the self online?

And what does it even mean to be authentic in digital life today? And how are people dealing with this? People are definitely finding ways to curate parts of themselves online now, but it is a complicated process.

We are asking you to go beyond a traditional selfie and consider nontraditional ways of representing yourself on social media.

I found one I created in 2018 for the original project:

mobile phone with image of a fence post and a glint of light, on the edges are parts of objects such as a guitar, a rock, a half marathon medal, and a cooking sppon.

    Cheating a bit with the face for this because going back to some past unselfie shots brought me back to Blink Blink Blink (my first-ever digital composition, now nearly 20 years old, shot with a flip video camera, and currently hosted in Glitch)
