Generation Z and Millennials are the first generations to be born into an era of social media and big data. I think about my online data and the records of me living in data servers in places I don’t even know about, like a digital fingerprint. My project, Digital Auras, explores these ideas using diptychs with portraits of people from these generations. Each diptych portrays both the physical and digital space of an individual: one photo is a traditional portrait, while the other is a portrait of the individual’s public data created from an algorithm analyzing all of that person’s social media images into one composite grid, like a digital aura reading. Using the subject’s visual data in combination with their traditional portrait, Digital Auras aims to reveal the individual through a lens of the real and digital worlds.
