Looking at a few blogs... american youth


It actually cam from a link from this blog; world ID LaB

identity :: mayaescobar.com

this a an excellent example of one net artist looking at her identity. (I worked with her oldest brother on series of projects in Mexico).. Her site. She constructs ID asa way to explore her own identity - gender roles, multiple ethnicity, cultural aspects within contemporary North American culture.
Love the one where she re-invents herself as Frida Karlo (Jewish & Latina)

final project theme

Major Web Project: (due week 13) 50 marks
The major web project will be to construct your own site. The site must be uploaded onto the web either via the university or a free provider.
THEME: “IDENTITY” – identity online or in terms of your personal identity; or perhaps construction of identity.
The theme must communicate something around the notion of INDENTITY. Interpret that as you will. e.g. personal identity or persona, online or with differing people – you decide. You may decide to use text or none. It would be best to communicate clearly without relying only on overly obvious interpretations such as “my peronality” etc. In other words it must use visual material / text / text as image to communicate this effectively.

Or creation of an online persona or avatar ... persona
or I wish I was..
Or gaming and ID
Or ways of video bloggers like SHOW in a BOX
