Computer-Selfie, 2025 🤳
Photo of a computer taken using an external/internal camera, a so-called “webcam”, and the built-in camera software. In the case of an externally connected camera, it is rotated and pointed at the computer and peripherals; with a permanently installed camera (on laptops etc.), a so-called “mirror selfie” is taken with the help of a mirror.
A selfie is a photograph in the style of a self-portrait, often taken at arm's length from your own hand. Selfies are often found on social networks and depict one or more people (group selfies). The term “selfie” was coined in the early 2000s. Computer selfie attempts to present the faceless personal computer as an entity using a common form of self-portrayal.
Let your system take a selfie, send it by e-mail and I will collect the different entities in my collection on the website. You can also use public PCs and an USB-Webcam to take pictures of them (e.g. Computer 21 @ Kopierladen) :)
