Avatars, Sockpuppets and Ventriloquists Dummies: Selves and Others Online
Date
03 April 2017
Description
When web users express themselves they often borrow others' bodies, faces and words to do so. YouTubers roleplay as their videogame avatars; users of Musical.ly mime to stars' songs; Tumblr devotees punctuate their anecdotes with GIFs of Rihanna winking or Orson Welles clapping defiantly; trolls conscript cartoon frogs into campaigns of racist abuse. What do these acts of ventriloquism, citation, mimicry and impersonation say about digital culture, and about identity more generally? And how are artists, theorists and game designers exploring what it means to speak and act as and through others online?
