We’re developing a ‘curators conceit’, our ‘Life Experiences’ only made ‘real’ once they’re logged, tagged, uploaded, shared.‘The Moment’ is serving as ‘Exhibited Proof’ of the Socially Rich & Rewarding lives we’re clearly leading. Are we only enjoying the fun once someone else can see how much fun we had?
Simon Pont, The Better Mousetrap (2012)
LIFE FACTION – A personally portrayed
existence that is
“digitally enhanced”
and favorably abridged;
Augmented Reality
applied to one’s
own life.
Simon Pont, The Better Mousetrap (2012)
DIGITAL DETACHMENT – The primary urge to Document & Share, to thesacrifice of ever being openly In-the-Moment.
As in: “I’ll drink my cocktail once I’ve uploaded these photos of us rocking-it at the bar just now.

DIGITAL DORIAN-GRAYING
The digital image we most care others to see.
The preferred version of ourselves; narcissism with artistic license;
a contrivance; positive hyperbole;
personal spin-doctoring.

SELF-BRUSHING – The act of polishing,
buffing and selectively
curating your more desirable
Online Self.

or event to self-flattering
effect.
