Selfie -> As the Self Portrait

-Does that make everyone with a camera an artist?
-Is a Selfie a mirror or window?
>Does it actually represent them or just portray how they want to be seen?

Exhibition Ideas:

-Multiple rooms
-Portray the larger picture; make them think
-Should visitors choose where to go or should they be directed?
-Exhibition take away:
>Algorithm based on their interaction with the exhibition assigns them a designated selfie or object
-Instagram Hall
