The answer to the fundamental identity question, "who am I?" can be given only in relation to the others that we interact with. And the answer to this question seems clearer after we take a look at our list of social network friends. On social networking sites we produce content by indirectly answering the question "who am I?". We organize our own and are recognized as virtual identities. Facebook represents real people through a specific element: the profile picture. This picture, more often than not shows a face, and a smiling one at that. In fact our face is our most private space and simultaneously the most exposed one. How many people are allowed to touch our face, for example? Generally speaking, the face is also one of the major points of reference we have in the world. There are even "special" regions of the human brain, such as the fusiform face area (FFA), which may have become specialized at facial recognition. Faces are now so exposed that they do not remain private, but are thrust into the public domain and shared (they can even be "tagged" by other people).
I created this website to keep track and guide you through my graduation project. It also is the ideal way to keep you updated. I think this is a nice tool since we live in a world of sharing information. Please feel free to become a follower and to comment whenever you feel like. I believe by taking into account your feedback I can improve my work. Thanks in advance, Fleur
The title for my graduation project came there due to many reasons. BREAK comes from: Breaking the line between two elements, One element breaks itself lose from the other one, A breakthrough, A pause, Mathematical: one opposite or divided by the other, Grammatical: the little sign between two words which separate them, Just a short catchy word.
