Script for Video

VIDEO STARTS with a person’s face looking at their phone screen, swiping through the
various social media apps.

VOICEOVER: In the digital age we live in today, technology becomes an integral part of
our lives. The frontiers between our actual and virtual living spaces are fading.

CAPTURES the person using multiple digital spaces – internet browsing, social media
profile updating, video chatting with friends.

VOICEOVER: We built “networked selves” – virtual representations that have started to


become extensions of our real identities. Haraway calls this the “cyborg identity” which is an
integration of human and artificial components.

MONTAGE of different digital avatars and of precisely selected virtual profiles.

VOICEOVER: Through the medium of our digital selves, we can try on different hats and
walk beyond the conventional barriers. However, this liberating freedom sometimes hides its
alarming side – the paradox of an increasing isolation through the constant connection with
the digital world.

CUT TO the person, who is by themselves and on their own devices, however they seem to be
withdrawn and alone.

VOICEOVER (Sherry Turkle): “We ask more of technology and less from each other.”

MONTAGE of people as they spend more time with their devices instead of with one another
in social settings.

VOICEOVER: How real are these online identities? We, as well, create an online image
known as “impression management,” based on the theory of Erving Goffman.

CUTS to the person editing and filtering a selfie before posting.

VOICEOVER: Yet impression management can develop a false self, where we struggle to
present the real us behind the idealized version that is projected.

SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE displaying through the TV screen of someone’s computer being


watched while their data is being collected.

VOICEOVER: Our digital selves are constantly monitored through data mining and
algorithmic curation, thus creating a virtual reality of our experiences. We censor ourselves
and conform to the gaze of society – the contemporary panopticon.

CLOSE-UP of the subject, looking thoughtful and undecided.

VOICEOVER: While we negotiate the contradictory digital divide, it requires us to think


critically about technology’s role in defining our identity and being human.

END WITH the symbolic visual metaphor combining physical and digital realms.
