Liquid selves
"Liquid Selves" depicts the upcoming struggle between the virtual and physical sides of ourselves. As technology brings us the age of virtual worlds, our existence as individuals becomes less and less dependent on our physical being. Our virtual identities become more powerful and flexible, but also unstable and difficult to define. Our consistent recognizable faces are left behind and all faces become masks. The ability to drink from and contribute to the global information pool is greatly enhanced, and this will affect the course of civilization, but the effective destruction of our bodies is a possible consequence.
