Beauty Parlour #02: About Self Representation - he you me

This Beauty Parlour was the second public meeting in preparation of ikikik! (mememe!). ikikik! was an exhibition about self-representation on the internet, that started in July 2008.

This time it was up to Viola van Alphen, Mattias Duyves, Marco Ugolini and Katja Novitskova to each present a short presentations on the subject.

The Programme

Several short lectures and discussions were held during the evening on the subject of the following questions.

-Are we creating socially accepted profiles and images of ourselves? Am I still myself when I try to represent myself professionally, also on the internet?

-What exactly is self representation?

-How do I present myself in interaction with others? How do I see myself?

-What is the development of the Me?

-When creating a profile or when we think of ourselves in real life, do we see ourselves first as he, as you and then as me?

Katja Novitskova

showed elements of self-representation online with numerous examples (from profiles to chat to anything) and then discussed its connection to self-representation offline (hair, clothes, make-up, body language, speech etc) to see where the two meet, what is good and bad online-offline fashion, what is the function of subcultures.
