"Identity theft” is one of the most popular memes of the day. It is a sad phrase; one that strips our cultural understanding of identity down to a handful of information. Our individual identities are reduced to a couple of facts: name, date of birth, ethnicity, address, phone number, social security number, credit history and email address. This information is meant to locate us literally and statistically; it is not meant to “know us” personally.
The purpose of Self-Disclosed is to help us understand our relationship with this so-called “personal” information. Today this "personal" information is a medium of exchanged used to gain access to data, email, information, coupons, friends/chat online, etc. Because we don't think of this information as currency, we don't keep systematic records of where/who we have "paid." Self-Disclosed provides a visual platform to track and register these transactions (think of it as analagous to a checking account register, but much more graphic).
