This image is made from every profile picture associated with my Facebook friends' profiles. I had 607 "friends" on Facebook. My Facebook profile is the gelatinous turnicate in which all other profiles are combined.
The Pyrosome is a free-floating, colonial tunicate (like a salp chain) that is made of thousands of identical clones, together forming a hollow cylindrical structure that can be 18 m long and wide enough for a person to enter. Each individual clone is a small, complete animal that filters water, in order to obtain food, flush out waste, and contribute to the propulsion of the entire super-organism. These clones have a notochord and are therefore chordates, along with all vertebrates, including humans.(Oceana , 2017).
Each individual profile image can be conceptualised as the clones within the colony. Each profile is the same in the sense that it appears as a friend on my profile. The are combined into one singular group, a herd, a colony created from my data and algorithm. The turnicate of my profile holds them as a group within the digital realm.
