Mr. PIXIE Presents: Selfie-Conscious
Selfie-Conscious is an interactive theater production in which a host, Mr. PIXIE, guides the audience in creating an avatar for his new social network platform, “Selfie Conscious”. This is achieved by taking pictures of 4 different volunteers and compiling those into a kind of Frankenstein’s monster collage. Throughout the show the audience is also guided through “selfie exercises” in which they converse with themselves in comic and poignant ways.
By incorporating our ever-present phones into the show, Selfie-Conscious seeks to create a space for audiences to examine how they use social media, as well as how they view themselves in digital spaces. By facilitating this unique dialogue and also using the audience to create a collective avatar (or “creature”), the show invites contemplation on the intersection between digital platforms and real-life interactions.
