paraflows .XI - IDENTITY

Who are we? What are the traits that define us? There are several
biological – and therefore hereditary – physical features that
represent an identity. Sex, hair and eye color, body height, fingerprints,
… characteristics which are hard to change by ourselves. The medial,
social, and constructed forms of identity on the other hand are fairly
easy to manipulate.  How much identity or how many identities do we need,
and what do we need them for? Where does the desire to reinvent ourselves,
to have one or several alter egos, to control the way we are perceived
from outside come from?  What is the difference between a persona and an
avatar? Is it a desire of all humans to be creator and creature at the
same time?

But not just the possible ways to create an identity are rapidly evolving;
the methods to examine and verify these identities are also becoming more
refined. Our identity is not just checked when we travel but every time we
go shopping, when we enter public spaces, at the doctor’s, at
restaurants, in social media, … how are we dealing with the data streams
we produce? How do we behave, how do we protect ourselves? How are we
being mapped?

What influence do migrant scenarios have on the construction of
identities? What about pen names and fictional characters?

paraflows .XI will be looking into the components of identity and trying
to find variables to put these components together in different ways.
