Abstract

A fictitious cautionary tale, set within the world of social media. Through an interface (based on the familiar layout and hierarchy of Facebook) Daphne, our protagonist shares her predilections, thoughts and volumes of meticulously crafted selfies. She has excellent taste (her Front friends tell her so), she is ‘liked’ by many, but all is not as it seems. The edit that is her 'timeline' - updates with new pictures, videos and music - all of which, if listened to and looked at closely, reveal anxiety and insecurity warning signs.
