In the event that your Instagrammed moment is so precious that someone else has to have it, SELLFIE will let you own your very own, 10" x 10" individual reprinting, on archival, museum etching paper, for the price of $150. It begins with a contemporary question: "Does Cindy Sherman shoot selfies, self-portraits, or just cultural representations of women? So what is Jon Doe portraying when he’s shooting himself?" ask the creators of Sellfie.co. "Technology gives people the opportunity to curate themselves as they want others to see them. We believe a lot of these selfies become even more artistic if given a stage. That’s why we created Sellfie, a stage that highlights the newest unfiltered instgram with the #selfie. Once somebody purchases one of these pieces it’ll never return to this stage again."

So there you have it: Someone else's selfie on your wall, and you're the only one who gets to have it. Simple as that. What we're left wondering is: How does this affect the Richard Prince vs. the Suicide Girls debate?
