ARTH1100 History of Photography S2017

Some findings that I found most interesting from Selfie City was the selfiexploratory in which you can set filters to determine specific demographics of people depending on which they posed or made a certain gesture with their face. Although another more interesting finding is the fact that median range of people who take the most selfies tend to be people who are much older than 20 year old’s who are often categorized by their overuse of phones and pictures. Whereas people who live in far off places like Bangkok are more geared to taking selfies for those that are younger being in the range of 20-22 year old’s.

One of the selfiecity findings that I found interesting to me was that in the five cities there were significantly more female selfies than male selfies and Moscow has an 82% of females who take selfies. On the other hand, New York is in third with a percentage of 61.6% which I found very interesting. Another selfiecity findings that I found interesting was that the cities Bangkok and Sao Paulo had more smiles when the people in those cities take a selfie. The one data that surprised me was that the average amount of head tilt for women is 50% higher than for men with Sao Paulo having an average head tilt of 16.9 degrees for females which was very shocking to me.
