“OnDisplay” examines our obsession with sharing our personal information. Technology has made it easier than ever for us to share images. The information is being shared so fast that we need to work harder in order to maintain privacy. Our desire of becoming popular, leads us to post about our personal lives on public forums. Today, the growing use of the selfie is one perfect example for this increasingly narcissistic culture, where many have relinquished the control over their own images when posting themselves online. “OnDisplay” is a live-feed of a never ending stream of real selfies, that were posted on Instagram, along with the count of every single post with the selfie tag, since the beginning of Instagram.
