@InstaNola: Curating Your Digital Self

Catalog description

@InstaNola: Curating Your Digital Self is a one credit TIDES course that looks at our relationship to social media, both real and projected, set to a New Orleans backdrop. The term “curation” has migrated from the physical world of art to the digital domain as we increasingly apply it in the context of our online activities. The images, songs, stories, locations, and people we interact with online shape the way we want the world to view us. But what happens if our digital self and physical self don’t align? We will look at our own relationships to social media, hear from local social media influencers, and visit some of New Orleans’ most ‘grammed spots all towards the question: How do we see the world, and how do we want others to see us?
