How Many Digital Faces Do You Wear? is an interactive photo booth installation that I created with my Exploratorium colleague, Dina Herring. After taking a quick “selfie”, users are asked a series of five questions about their online identity and representation in social media. Depending on how you answer, your selfie changes, mirroring your described online self. Although your answers always remain private, your updated selfie is mirrored outside of the space, leaving others to guess who your online self really is.

How much does your online profile pic match your personality/true self?
Do you have any online connections that you‘ve never met in person?
Are you more or less honest online?
How closely does your online life mirror your actual life?
