Fè, Homo Monitor, acrylic on paper, 30x42 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. Homo Monitor has a monitor-face, worships the deity of Connection, the mother of all input.
