Personal conclusions from the project:
The whole concept of documenting the self consistently, means we are pre occupied and distracted by a world that exists in the imagination. Online presence means physical absence. You can see the physiological fatigue in Tehching Hsieh’s photos and his struggle to keep doing what he is doing while committing to the time clock punching. This can be a metaphor for our addiction and constant connection to our online persona - that we are fatigued in our physical reality. His work is a metaphor that he is physically doing what we are already constantly doing without even noticing, updating our online lives with in place of remaining present in reality.
