The idea of a world without internet has become almost unimaginable. We use online communities like Flickr, Facebook and MySpace to forge virtual realities which are subject to a perpetual process of reinvention and redefinition of a digital identity. Parallel to the real world of real individuals, an artificial world has emerged whose heart beats in bits and bytes.
~IDENTITÄT aims to make this disparity visible and show that digital worlds can be depicted in three-dimensional form. Web-crawler programs are used that automatically search the web and analyse particular pages accumulating personal data of requested digital identities . The information is stored in a database. The interpretation of these personal details gives each identity its unique form, fixed in a generated sculpture.
