Re: [Nettime-nl] Me, Myself and I //or// How to make your own new identity


Sorry, forgot to mention the date.
Evening will be Tuesday 26/6 
And entrance if free.

Check Schijnheilig.org for updates and exact location (it is under the bridge in the vondelpark in an atomic shelter, so sometimes hard to find.. ;-) )

Looking forward to meet!

We will explore the technological challenges and social consequences of this endeavor. Also we will look into possible real-world applications if people can have a new or more then one identity.

And if a revolution did take place you could go and burn those records, but now people put all their data on different platforms and different machines and think itâs fun. All the hype about Twitter and online identities is nothing new, except now itâs on a different platform whereas before it would have been on a stone tablet. But what happens if the police knock on you door, as they do in Iran or elsewhere and even in the UK, and say, âYouâve been on these websites and are involved with certain activities so now weâre arresting youâ. So, the virtual is more important, because itâs actually becoming more difficult for people to see their traces. Their actual true nature gets misrepresented or codified or enslaved through the Internet. Things happen in a much more sophisticated way, whereas before you could burn a piece of paper or tear it up: Goodbye body.â
