Instagram is many things. What started out as a place to post heavily filtered low-res photos of our silhouettes against the ocean has become a hub for curating personas, kickstarting careers, and building social currency. As digital spaces become increasingly intertwined with our real lives, selves, and world, I have many questions.
Is Instagram as an app more personal or professional? Does being on Instagram feel more distancing or connective? Are people on Instagram more curated or authentic?
Instagram users Andrew Rosso, Nikki Capinpin, and Perry Sosi answer these questions and more through a series of interviews.
Playing with analog filters, concealment of information, and endless scrollability, this book is an interactive representation of digital experiences brought into real life.
The accompanying Project Website is an archive of Instagram users’ anonymous thoughts, feelings, and experiences on the app.
