Me, My Selfie and Major Tom
Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI)

Who is your other you?
Exploring identity through image and performance has been influenced by cultural icons such as David Bowie and artists like Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman.
Autobiography and self-portraiture have a long tradition that has reached fever pitch in the era of Instagram and selfie sticks.
Me, My selfie and Major Tom is a free project, running alongside the Bowie exhibition, open to young people interested in exploring their ‘other selves' in workshops about persona, selfies, avatars and ideas of putting your image out there in contemporary culture.
Over four creative sessions, lead by professional artists, the project explores ways of making - and mashing up - self portraits using photography, video, projections, online spaces and live performance.
