8,5 Faces
According to a statistic study the average internet user in 2019 has 8,5 accounts on social platforms.
Every platform has a different purpose, either to stay in contact with friends and family, to find the best job opportunities or even to find a romantic partner. It seems that nowadays there is a platform for every aspect of our life.
I usually think of the notion of personality as being something spherical, in the digital world though we generally get to experience only parts of someone’s personality through a two dimensional screen. In this piece I present my own 8,5 faces in order to question how differently myself is presented throughout them.
