Rethinking a Common Technology – Diego Vega

This picture mimics || mocks the current selfie movement. It shows the usual transition after faking certain emotions when in reality being in a different state or mood. The phrase it contains in the manner of snapchat text only makes it a clearer and more direct satire  of all those that use their social media to show a life that is not theirs; a fake life. 

I used a long exposure camera app to take the picture and then uploaded to Snapchat to add the text. I believe this is interesting because Snapchat is intended to share “snaps” or instants of our daily lives, not manipulated images or edited pictures.
