When we go online, what are we looking for? For many of us in the developed world, it's the dangling carrot of ourselves, of course.
It Me is an artist book by Jessica Williams. This full color book, bound with a vinyl cover, is printed to be the exact size and shape of an iPhone. A decade worth of screen shots, this book takes a deep dive into internet culture and identity politics through the examination of emojis, click-bait titles, memes, and selfies. What emerges is a work which represents the fleeting oversimplification of information and identity in the current era. The implications of which are a lack of nuance and loss of cultural specificity.
