Beauty Parlour is a the second public meeting in preparation of a Me! Me! Me! (Ik! Ik! Ik!). Me! Me! Me! is an exhibition about self-representation on the net, starting April 2008.
Are we creating social accepted profiles and images of ourselves or how much are we still ourselves when we want to remain a professional appearance, also on the internet?

What exactly is self representation?

+How to present myself in interaction with others, how do I see myself?
