#SELFIE360 is a self portrait video playlist and multimedia instllation.

Each video shows a man turning on the spot in a circle whereby the focus is on his face. The background becomes blurred. The original shot is uploaded and postproduced on Youtube where it is slowed down 8 times and stabilized.

The idea behind SELFIE360 derives from observing the speed of information and the fascination of the young generation of taking self-portraits with their smartphone to any occasion and uploading them directly to social websites.

Therefore, the series deals not only with a sort of narcissistic behavior but also with the wish to share personal moments of any kind as well as of taking time for perception. The blurred background only gives a clue to the mood, season and setting but it does not allow the viewer any closer conclusion.

A room or an open space with a table in the middle - on the table are at least 4 Ipads with headphones. As displayed in Apple stores, but this time the multimedia installation works as an sculpture in the Ostrale14 exhibition.

SELFIE360/ users interaction space.

Tablets, Headphones. Wifi acces point.

As at a round table, the users can look at the person in front of or beside them.

That doesn’t asure the interaction between them, because all are using the Ipads to watch the Selfie360 selfportrait playlist.

The user can take the Ipad and surf through the SELFIE360 Youtube playlist, select the videos, watch them in full screen mode and share them on social networks.

Youtube playlist: http://selfie360.oscarhr.es *This is my prefered option of showing SELFIE360. If it is not possible to dislpay it in this manner, on the next page are three other options for exibiting this work:

SELFIE360/ cinema room.

SELFIE360/ 1 Tablet.

SELFIE360/ 4 screen square.

Projector, Sound system, touchscreen interactive display, internet connection (for sharing options).

Tablet with headphones. Wifi acces point.

4 x 42� screen, 4 x headphones, 4 x DVD player.

A Touchscreen display shows the videos belonging to the Youtube playlist. The viewer can select the videos, which will be projected in full screen mode on the wall. The user can also use the interactive display to share the playlist on social networks.

For a reduced and more intimate proposal we suggest the use of one tablet with headphones hanging on the wall. Selection of videos and sharing options are also available for the viewer.

This time a selection of four videos is displayed.

3 of them belonging to the Youtube playlist and one recorded in the Ortrale just before the opening.
