Summary: idMirror is an artistic project that investigates how social networks and
emerging mobile technologies have forever changed the perception of human
identity. Social responsibility should be taken into account when dealing with
visual practice. People today live in a time of constant changes to their daily
life. Technological progress brings about transformation in every aspect of
human existence, including the perception of one's self. New ways of
communication and cultural forms are a means of transfiguration of present day
identities, forms of community and interpersonal relationships; our perception
of time and space is being re-established. People talk about digital life as
the place of hope, the place where something new will come to them. Has the
identity of contemporary citizen shifted to the level of a code; captured in
our mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, and exposed in a form of
information on the WWW? The essential question nowadays is: Where are we?
