11.30-13.00: Selfie and self-surveillance

Dr. Ana Peraica angol nyelvű előadása

The appearance of historic self-portrait genre was closely tied to
technology of production of mirrors. These small reflective glasses evolved
from concave, over convex to finally become flat mirror, also determining
the historic styles of self-portraiture. Among them, the oldest, concave
one is still being used for the larger space surveillance.

Further development mirror-based technologies, photography is, has also
initiated various portrait analysis, serving for the control of prisoners
via ID cards, over sorting of such images in larger archives, in order to
distinguish various layers of society according their wealth, race or
gender.

Contemporary selfie phenomena is framed by both of these surveillance
aspects; while form one side enhancing the user to see behind own back in
the control-type of mirror, it is also providing an image that can be
analysed and put in the database, where serving various purposes.
Voluntarily produced, selfie becomes a genre of self-surveillance.
