‘Laptop Reflection: We wrote a script that captured our portraits via the webcam on our laptops and made simultaneously screenshots of the desktops
every 5 minutes. These pictures show our behaviour with the computer during one whole year. The desire to discover patterns was greater than the inconvenience of the gaze. We also enjoyed the experiment, studying your self-portrait is fascinating. The sometimes claustrophobic feeling, the confrontation with our own daily routine alternated with the pleasure of knowing we have been recorded and being able to observe ourselves. We are thus more concerned with personal, subjective, even sensitive feelings: layers which will reveal themselves beyond the objective and concrete facts in the large number of images. We are looking for extraordinary connections and unpredictable arrangements, for series of images that no-one would put together.’
