Pangenerator and a Warsaw-based art collective were recently commissioned by the National Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw to create a piece that would investigate an aspect of the average teenager’s life and rather interestingly the creatives settled on selfie culture. Specifically, the fact that due to file formats and storage devices changing we will eventually lose our digital footprint completely, meaning the only way to remain is to portray ourselves physically.
The creatives had this to say: “We naturally thought of selfie culture and played with this idea of preserving our images compulsively, contrasted with the fragility of data in a long run.”
The installation is currently on show at the National Ethnographic Museum which you can visit at the following address:
