Green Screen Self Study

2015

Portrait>Detrait>Atrait

Being today is "being-digitized", one does not exist unless one has been replaced by a simulacrum of oneself. The screens plane liquifies into narcissus's reflecting pool alluding to the dangers and cognitive dissonance media can cause. Previous models of the Self are replaced by a creation of technicity and artifice, a fluid disintegrating river of selfhood that can be manipulated at will. Chroma key green screen is a technique used to place subjects in artificial environments. The background which is usually omitted becomes a cgi zone of potentialities that pictorially invades the subject/self, blurring the boundaries between digital environments and physical selves. Portrait becomes detrait which is overcoded by asignifying swarms of flows, affects, time displacements, slit scans and motion algorithm glitches.
