Your Avatar, Your Ident : Who will I be today?
Avatars 97 : The Human Race in CyberSpace Conference, San Francisco, California |
|
Your ident in the real world and cyberspace is becoming increasingly multifaceted.
From the nom de plume to the IRC handle to articulated 3D avatars to the human
cyborg, how our ident is being stretched! As you project your persona into digital
worlds, you are faced with the increasingly complex issues of picking an avatar
and the persistance of your identity within and across communities. You can
explore the freedom of a fictional identity or cross the boundaries of age, gender,
and disability. How does the avatar-cyborg frontier offer a way to learn more about
yourself? |
