Georgie Roxby Smith /
Hyperdentity
Six computer-generated self-portraits are projected along 14th Street. These self-portraits are in the image of the artist’s fantasized digital self. This model identity constantly seeks validation and approval through the language of popular social media networks - Like Me, Friend Me, Retweet Me, Tag Me, Follow Me - ultimately rendering a visual and aural chorus on the subject of the self within a contemporary, digital context.
Date:
October 5-15 from 8-9pm
Location:
The project will be projected along 14th Street, with specific locations tweeted from @hyperdentity.

Roxby Smith explores the increasingly blurred border between materiality, reality, virtuality and fantasy in contemporary culture with a focus on the reinvention of the self through the screen.
