This video aims to challenge this phenomenon, dissecting individuals shaped by society and algorithms, exploring how individuals engage in self-shaping within contemporary society, and embodying this through prevalent digital performances. By employing the digital performance format of livestreaming within mainstream social media, the video objectively presents the process of individual identity formation through a third-person perspective. In this context, it transcends being merely a livestreaming room,it reflects a phenomenon occurring constantly and subtly influencing contemporary individuals. It establishes not only a revolution but an initiative. The underlying concept of this initiative is to utilise the protagonist's journey of self-shaping to advocate for the importance of autonomous self-shaping over passive self-shaping.
