Developed with the idea of creating a self portraiture in mind, "Self." is an attempt to encourage inquisition through the study of specific subject matter and their relationships within a language characteristic of the artists. This leaves the piece to cultivate a strong sense of alienation among the audience as the video progresses, provoking the audience into questioning everything about the piece.
The topics dealt with in the piece are intended to encompass the artist's own viewpoints of culture and technology and how they play with in his own life, but are not meant to limit the audience into further analysis. As culture and technology become more and more intertwined due to emergence of the information age, the idea of self, and everything that makes a connection with it, becomes something left to redefine, but will we make the decision, or will technology beat us to it?
