• Recently, SNS has deeply penetrated our daily lives and social interaction. In particular, people express their identity through their selfies on SNS. At this time, many SNS platforms provide functions to modify selfie beautifully. The presence of this fixed pipeline makes us look at fake identity as an issue of the platform beyond individual users. Shakefie is an interactive art installation that criticizes the existing SNS platforms. The audience (1) cannot know when the picture is taken, (2) cannot try to take a better selfie, and finally (3) must upload a selfie containing the unintended imperfection to the SNS
