Fè, My Selfie. Homo Monitor prayn' for connection (white and gold), Hand painted - 3d-printed sculptures, 9x10x20 cm

"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.

"Prayn' for connection"

The Myselfie - Homo Monitor is represented here in the act of praying.

When Homo Monitors are not rebooting or sharing data they are often praying to their Goddess, the Goddess of Connection, the mother of all input.

May your connection be strong.

Myselfie technique

Design and 3d modelling. Self-made sculptures in 3d printing (PLA filament). Hand finishing and painting. Sculptures with a non-smooth but "rough" surface are printed with an experimental technique that causes the printer nozzle to "shake" in order to create a surface effect of irregularity.
