Reflections: divided 2
, Video, 2008

Marshall McLuhan stated that technology is an extension of a human body, but he also noted that every technological extension amputates or modifies some other extension. In Divided 2, I attempt to create a contemplative space that explores issues of the real and the virtual self. The project presents a split image, a portrait that is difficult to recognize at first. It is a digital persona of real person reflected in the virtual space, the space that blends our desires, fears and complexes into a distorted, extended self. Divided 2 is my reflection on the parallel lives, real and virtual, that people lead today.
