Cybernetic self

Cybernetic self

Throughout this project I will be exploring the idea of the Cybernetic Self. What does it mean?

cybernetics

sʌɪbəˈnɛtɪks/

noun

1. the science of communications and automatic control systems in both machines and living things.

   
   

   self

   sɛlf/

   noun

   1. 1. 

      a person's essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action.

      "our alienation from our true selves"

      synonyms:

      ego, I, oneself, persona, person, identity, character, personality, psyche, soul, spirit, mind, intellect, inner man/woman/person, inner self, one's innermost feelings, one's heart of hearts "these whispers come from our inner self"

      In its most literal meaning Cybernetic Self means a mechanical you. That into say you are in essence a machine.

      
      

      There are many different ways to approach the meaning of this term as there is in everything in life. This project has given me creative control over how I chose to visually represent this phrase and how it will in turn be interpreted.
