The Screenface Ones imagines that our ‘real life’ identity, our ‘true self’ is supplanted by an alternative ‘virtual version’ of ourselves. The Screenface Ones suggests that we can alter our presence in the virtual world in ways that we cannot in earthly three dimensions. The collection of images provokes such questions as; how might Screenfaces impact upon interpersonal relationships? How might Screenfaces influence collective perceptions of identity and what do they tell us about the psychological importance of self image?
