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

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

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

The Programme

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

-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?

-How is the development of the Me?

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