how real is real?
would you ever get of yourselfie?
(English below!)
Selfie sport:
Bye yoga, hello selfie-sport
beginner & advanced (arm prothese)
wij vinden het overdreven om zoveel van jezelf vast te leggen.
door het maken van de video, besefte we dat het maken van selfies nog best een sport is. het doet zeer aan je armen en hoe verder je arm reikt des te moeilijker je gezichtsuitdrukking wordt. Sport: 1) lichamelijke activiteit voor je plezier of als beroep. Dit nemen we dan ook heel letterlijk; selfie als een sport. Iets wat mensen vaak doen, beweging bij kijken. bewust worden van je eigen lichaam.
moeten we onszelf zo vaak vastleggen en laten zien? is het een ontspanning of een drang? sport is voor ontspanning, maar dit kan ook een drang worden/verslavend werken. selfie als sport, sport als selfie; het is dubbel. ga je sporten om een selfie te maken? of ga je sporten voor een betere selfie?
wat zegt het nou als we er een sport van maken?
je brengt jezelf in rare posities om een juist beeld te zoeken, dit is meestal geforceerd, maar wat nou als je dit op een ontspannende manier kan doen of blijft het nog steeds geforceerd? selfie in scene zettten
gaat het om het sporten of om het selfie maken? en dat kan iedereen voor zichzelf bepalen.
Wat willen we van de toeschouwer?
''bewustwording creëren door de spot te drijven met selfies maken als een sport.’'
we willen met deze bewustwording niet mensen veranderen, maar het kan geen kwaad om af en toe stil te staan bij wat je nou aan het doen bent. om zich te laten realiseren dat we in het nu leven en niet door de front-face-camera van je telefoon.
---------------------------------------
we think it’s overrated to capture so much pictures of yourself. by making the test-video, we realised that’s quite hard to make selfies and that it is kind of a sport (dance). the arm will get tired or hurts when you stretch it too far and the further you stretch your arm all the more your facial expression will get more awkward. 1) Sport: an athletic activity requiring skill or physicalprowess and often of a competitive nature. We’re gonna take this very literal; selfie as a sport. Something that people do very often, movement. getting conscious of your own body. do we have to capture ourselves that often? is this a type of relaxation or is this an urge? sport is ment for relaxation, but it can become an urge/addiction. selfie as a sport, sport as a selfie; it has a double meaning. do you work out to make a selfie or do you work out for a better selfie?
what does it say when we turn this into a sport? you put yourself into weird positions to find the right image/angle, this is forced most of the times. but what if you can do this in a relaxed way or does it still stay forced? *putting yourselfie in scene’’ is it about the sport or is it about making selfies? everyone can decide that for themselves.
what do we want from the viewer/participant?
'’creating awareness by scoff at the sport of making selfies’’
we don’t want to change people with this awareness, but it’s not wrong to reflect on what you’re actually doing; and to realize that we live in the present and not trough the front-face-camera of your phone.

Swot-analyse
Swot-analyse
- How does your concept relate to body, identity and technology or a combination of these?We associate selfies mostly with faces, but that doesn’t have to be. How far can you stretch out your arm to capture a big part of your body? In this visual culture, the selfie quickly and easily shows, not tells, how you’re feeling, where you are, what you’re doing. A way of expressing ourselves and putting yourself in a light that you can control.
- What are you making? We want to capture ourself in every possible way with our smartphone. What will happen if we create a pattern of selfies and bring this in public space? By means of making the selfies wearable. We retain control in what we want to show in the pictures. We want to try out all conceivable selfies. We're gonna explore this way of representing ourselves to others, but of communicating with one another through images. would we ever get enough of or selfie? How will people react when you’re walking with you’re selfie all the time?, instead of staying on your phone or online, we take them into the physical world.
Wearable selfie: celebrities are getting away with wearing clothes with their own face on it, we probably don’t. we hebben gefilmd hoe ver onze arm kan reiken om een stuk van onszelf in beeld te brengen. Lizet heeft zo haar eigen selfie arm/handpose. Thelma heeft dat ook. het lijkt ons leuk om dit terug te laten komen in het kledingstuk. Daarnaast willen we van onze selfies een patroon creëren om onszelf mee te confronteren maar ook om de toeschouwer mee op te zadelen, en zo reacties uit te lokken. would we ever get enough of ourselfie.
- What is the role of the public? (user, audience, reader, participant, viewer, customer, other? A viewer and reader ( we want to get opinions/reactions). ''maar ook om de toeschouwer mee op te zadelen, en zo reacties uit te lokken. would we ever get enough of ourselfie. ''
- Which techniques, media and materials are you using and why? -
- Fabric: for the wearable pieces
- What are you actually doing to realize/materialize your project?
- Is there a realistic planning for each week in quarter 10?
- are you killing darlings?
All the time...
Swot-analyse:
strengths: het maken/creeren, enthousiasme, onuitputtende doorzettingsvermogen
opportunities: wat heb je al wat je kunt inzetten. lot’s of selfies, workshops, patternmaking, sewing-skills,
weaknesses: onzeker, niet te eigenwijs, we luisteren teveel
threats: te weinig selfies, dat we geen reacties durven uit te lokken.
