Abstract

The objective of this paper is an analysis of some tools and applications used for creating, sharing and archiving self images in cyberspace. From the practice and the theoretical analises these tools evidence the multiple inconstancy of the human desire for images that documents and fictionalizes themselves in social communities like Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram. The sharing of these photographic experiences became evidenced by the selfie phenomenon and brings to reflection the relationship between visibility and subjectivity, life and art.
