im all for language evolution but selfie is a low class trash word for low class trash people

also theres a perfectly fine word already

also selfie is slang and not really fit for an encyclopedia? take that poo poo to urban dictionary :sperg:

also itll likely fall out of use in less than a decade and then you have to clean up the turds

selfie is literally meant to be the word for a self portrait done casually while "self portrait' implies both a lot of time going into it, has a faint air of art to it, and you definitely wouldn't use selfie to mean an oil painting or somethin'

selfies are art

quote:

Curators Kyle Chayka and Marina Galperina will present National #Selfie Portrait Gallery, an installation of 19 emerging artists from the EU and the US who have created short-form videos engaging with the medium of the “selfie,” the omnipresent slang for digital self-portraits found across all social networks. Self-portraiture has a long artistic heritage, with devotees including Rembrandt, the compulsive self-documentarian, Courbet, who styled himself a suave Bohemian, and van Gogh, the fragile genius, bandaged at the ear. Today, the genre belongs to anyone with a camera. Self-portraiture is the most democratic creative medium available, both as a performative outlet for the social self and an intimate vehicle of personal catharsis, for artists and non-artists alike.

look seriously if youre autism enough that you need to take a solo picture of yourself, go for it

call it a self portrait, whatever

the actual word "selfie" is annoying as poo poo because its babyization of a phrase that already exists, like saying "samsies", "friensies"

Advocates of maker culture claim that a greater emphasis on some memes distinguishes the newer "Maker-Culture" from earlier hobbyist learning environments:

If it can be imagined it can be made.
The first step in making a thing, even a non-physical thing, is visualizing it.

... and computers can greatly aid that visualization, including sketching, drawing, simulation, analysis, and prototyping.

A most effective step in refining/developing a thing is collaborating with others on it.

... and Internet can greatly aid that collaboration
... and digital repositories are especially useful where data is used to directly reproduce objects and their derivatives.

Begin with the end in mind.
Making things always combines form with function.
The art of making should be appreciated and celebrated.

"Maker-Culture" re-brands pursuits and processes that extend into prehistory — making things and communicating how. That re-branding helps shift focus onto the new pursuits and processes enabled and reshaped by recent innovations: Internet, open-source memes & means, and the growing ubiquity of computing tools in smaller, faster, cheaper, more flexible forms.
