The online revolution has had a profound effect on traditional notions of art. Most of us see art as being something done on weekends in front of an easel or in some garret by some out of work art student who spends his life in a café. Contemporary art is so far from this image probably in no small part because of the so called online digital revolution. Digital photography, gaming, interactivity, cybernatics and even hacking as an art form are just a few areas that have radically changed art and what it means to produce art. It is just as likely that today an artist will produce a work using digital technology, document it and develop it further on the web as much as sit See these sites to get an idea of these type of art projects that use non traditional mediums::

Within this convergence can exist various forms of IDENTITIES::
For example a site that explores a true story of a young woman who was murdered for passing as a man. (warning this is quite an intense experience)
OR try to pass yourself off as a true Indian Bollywood girl
OR this fake identity - as the TATE museum
OR An online identity is a social identity that network users establish in online communities. Whenever a person interacts in a socially they portray a mask of their identity. This is no different online BUT the mask is more intense because the online user develops an online profile. ( age, gender, address, username). As a person publishes to the web he or she adds more and more to his or her mask ithrough adding real or imagined self projection. what about avators?
