"Myselfie - Homo Monitor" is the evolution of Homo Sapiens and stems from a reflection on the impact of smartphones on our daily lives. The smartphone empowers us, it becomes an extension of our body and our communication potential. We communicate via monitors, receive input and send output. We send text messages, voice messages and finally emotions. Emotions in the form of icons - emoji or emoticons - that become more and more evolved, more and more customisable, more and more like us. In this new evolutionary step, facial features will cease to have the function of expressing emotions, and as once happened to the tail of the first hominids, they will cease to exist. Homo Monitor has a monitor-face, worships the deity of Connection, the mother of all input, and it is not uncommon to find him exchanging tender 'monitor-bottom' hugs with other individuals. But don't be fooled: this is not love, but a pure exchange of data. The 'Myselfie - Homo Monitor', in fact, reproduces by budding because it is too fond of itself - hence the common name 'myselfie'.

 

Hand-painted - ceramic sculptures

We communicate through monitors, we depend on monitors and data, one day we will become monitors and data will be our food.

On that day we will merge with our monitors and finally have a monitor head.

This would be the end of Homo Sapiens and the beginning of the new era of Homo Monitor.
