“Where’s your head at today?” When it is absorbed in Cyberspace, then you are a ScreenHead. And what is your Facebook icon, but another type of ScreenHead?
Yet our Facebook icons are more than ScreenHeads – they are our masks, even the void, default silhouette some choose by not choosing otherwise. The void mask obviously hides us, but so do many others. Some hide the 'real' us through glorification, while others radically transform and reinvent us. And all are expressive of something … Don’t you ever feel like you REALLY need a new Facebook icon, if just for one day?

To PARTICIPATE in constructing a HYPER-CYBER MONTAGE:
The above icons comprise a personal Cyber-Montage of some interest which reflects my personal psyche ... but wouldn’t it be cool if we could altogether construct a much-expanded Hyper-Cyber-Montage?
SAY WHAT??
Well, imagine that you …
1. Construct your own personal Cyber-Montage just as I did above, and post it on your own web site or personal web page. [Your Facebook Notes could work.]
2. Include that internet address in a comment to this post so anyone reading this post could then go to your Cyber-Montage. See the Comment Examples below.
3. Also imagine that your own post contains all the identical text you see in this section, beginning with “To PARTICIPATE in constructing ..." above and ending with “NOW DO IT!” further below.
Now further imagine …
4. Sending invitations to your friends [per email, Facebook posts, etc], inviting them to view your Cyber-Montage.
5. Since your Cyber-Montage contains all the identical text you see in this section, it is self-replicating:
a. Friends viewing your Cyber-Montage are automatically invited to do the same, thereby iterating successive branches, similar to a chain-mail.
The root of this tree [chain] is http://screenheads.blogspot.com/2012/01/do-you-ever-feel-like-you-really-need.html. Do not edit this URL [internet address], as it points to the very first, beginning post in the Hyper-Cyber montage: starting here, anyone can navigate through all the individual Cyber-montages added to the ever-growing Hyper-collection.
The URL to your Cyber-Montage should go in the comment you write to the post that just now brought you into the chain.
Comment Examples:
Interesting selection, especially liked the _________ icon. My personal interests revolve more around _________ you will see that in my Cyber-Montage at www.MyPost.MyHost.com .
If others participate precisely as outlined above, we will be jointly constructing a Hyper-Cyber-Montage, wherein each individual Montage is just one facet of a dynamic, ever-expanding super-construction of Cyber-Montages, all related per the Cyber-tree-branches, continuously growing as additional participants are brought into the project.
Of course not everyone will participate, but that’s OK – it’s like a successful Gallery exhibit: you expect far more lookers than participants, and all are welcome: anyone can view the facets of the Hyper-Cyber-Montage by simply following the links left in the comments, and it will be an interesting gallery indeed!
Perhaps the very first example of an entirely new concept: Hyper-Cyber-Art?
NOW DO IT!
