Milan Salone 2015 – The ‘#ECAL #PhotoBooth’ exhibition during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile explores how the selfie phenomenon has altered our modern-day perception of ourselves.
‘We wanted to make visitors interact with the exhibits and turn viewers into the main actors in the exhibition,’ Alexis Georgacopoulos, director of École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne (ECAL), tells LS:N Global. In the spirit of The Sharded Self, the pieces explore how the nature of multiple online identities, selfies and distorted self-portraiture is influencing visual culture. The interactive installations also encourage viewers to record their journey through mobile phones, hacked webcams and other playful and experimental media.
