Description Ok ok

Lame title, I admit it.

Concept made for my photography class. I love "autofiction" (don't know the term in english) so I try to use myself in most of my projects, meaning being INTO them, really.

It almost makes me feel like an egocentric person, but eh, what you gonna do about it. I prefer to mess myself up on photoshop rather than messing up my friends. At least they won't be ashamed to be shown in front of a class.

Most pictures are from me (Me, some of the wires)

Humans create cyborgs. You can hack a cyborg, not a human. You can destroy a cyborg, you can use it. I don't want that. BTW, use the reply button, it's there for a reason

Wires, metal, screws I guess. And a power supply. But it's an empty shell, I guess.

I guess I love my human flesh. Also, I'm interested in Cyborg theory and ethics (I'm a big fan of Ghost in the Shell). I feel like I'll be loosing myself.

Why do you like cyborg so much?

cool, c'est bien fait
J'aime bien l'idée de voir les gens se "transformer" eux même, faire des autoportrait photo-montés. Projètes-tu d'en faire d'autres?
Regarde ma galerie, peut-être que ça peut t'intéresser

Miraniel In reply to The-A-Factory [2010-03-17 23:07:17 +0000 UTC]

Merci beaucoup! J'adore me transformer ou plutôt le concept de l'autofiction.

En faire d'autre? Probablement, mais j'ai une pratique artistique assez variée. Je fais tout ce qui m'éclate, quoi! Je sais que je vais en faire au moins 2 autres avant la fin de ma session (projet étudiant)

Ta galerie est vraiment chouette, ça devient un devWatch tout ça
Je suis surtout étonnée d'avoir une réponse en français! Français? Québecois, peut-être?

The-A-Factory In reply to Miraniel [2010-03-18 19:37:51 +0000 UTC]

"l'autofiction" est un bon mot qui me parle aussi, bien trouvé

J'ai hâte de voir la suite alors
Et c'est super d'avoir plusieurs pratiques.

Merci pour ma galerie, c'est gentil. Et donc merci pour le devWatch!

Et oui je suis français. Il y en a quand même pas mal sur DA.
Je vis sur la côte Bretonne.

Au plaisir

I WAS RIGHT!
YOU'RE NOT HUMAN!!
YOU'RE A WALKING SUPERCOMPUTER!

great concept but I believe some shinning pieces of metal, sparks, burnt marks and the removed part of your arm could've made the broken part better

Miraniel In reply to vpoirier000 [2010-03-16 20:41:26 +0000 UTC]

I wanted to make it subtle, not too obvious. You know, something looks weird but you need to stop and look. Making it too obvious would have not helped me in my project.

But yeah, that would've been cool.

No need to learn photoshop to be an artist. If you have a better connection with another media, go for it!

You're welcome!

Yup, you've got the point there.
However, I'd still love to learn using it. I think it's much fun!

Well then go for it! And don't get discouraged, it's a lot of practice and effort, but once you get it, nothing can stop you.
