Fè, Myselfie. Homo Monitor (white and red), ceramic sculpture - hand painted, h 24 cm

Myselfie – Homo Monitor is the evolution of the Homo Sapiens and it is born from the reflection on smartphone's impact on our today life. The smartphone becomes an extension of our body and our communicative potential.

We communicate through monitors, we receive inputs and send outputs. We send messages and infinite emotions. Emotions like emoticon, even more evolved, even more customisable, even more like us. A new evolutional step of the human being: our faces will not be able to express feelings anymore, but – like the tail of the first hominids – will simply disappeared.

The Homo – Monitor has got a face-monitor, it venerates connection as a god, mother of all inputs. Sometimes we can find it exchanging confidences with a partner, but don't be misleading: it's jus t data sharing. Myselfie – Home Monitor reproduces by gemmation, because it's only in love with itself, that's why its name is “myselfie”.
