Entropic Me by Angela Smith

In Angela Smith's Entropic Me, she searched the Archive for images using the tags “selfie”, “self-portrait”, “self”, and “self photography” and then created a new archive with these pieces glitched alongside her own modified self portrait images. It explores identities lost through the bending of data indicating that a self portrait has occurred.

Images can be clicked through to a larger view and then the source, where the viewer unexpectedly ends up discovering a new point in time and a new identifying selfie.  Engrossed in exploring the internet’s virtual tome of selfie culture, Entropic Me bends our notion of self and allows us to get lost and end up in unexpected places.
