When artists make
self-portraits, they may be asking themselves a very basic but
difficult question:
"Who am I?"
One of our recent WHCmultimedia exercises produced an amazing
quantity and diversity of submissions as members of our
multimedia forum became passionately involved with the
interactive site, Mr. Picasso Head (http://www.mrpicassohead.com).
We had a contagious outburst of Picassoheadmania as each of us
used this site to create a Picassohead self-portrait. Some of
us splintered the visual world into many facets to show who we
are; others rendered sumi-e-like visions of themselves and yet
others chose to create a likeness that could be interchangeable
with ID photographs. Even though were working with the minimal
tools of an interactive site, we considered the marriage of our
image and one-line haiku. All in all, this was one of the most
exciting, memorable exercises this year. We were meeting at the
forum all hours of the day and night and just couldn't stay
away.;-)
This exercise is still in progress. Next comes a forum
discussion of the submissions; after that members who choose to
do so may alter their interactive works in their own
photo-editing software, adding or revising their haiku (some
have already done so -- see the 'fun page' gallery). Lots to look
forward to!
