Only Me
Joy Li
OnlyMe is an instagram filter designed to simulate the self-validating methods sought through digital and social media experiences.
Taking the user through an eerie portal into a familiar interface, a slew of vapid and empty comments become triggered through facial recognition when smiling.
This work functions to entertain but also capture a self-reflective visage that looks back onto ourselves.
Smile, you’re on camera!
