This project with guest artists Liz Rossoff was all about identities and the Internet. In this assignment, she had us all create a fake identity and establish a presence on the Internet. We did this through creating an email and "facebook" accounts.My "alter ego" is a girl named "Katherine Martin," a name I came up by asking my boyfriend for random names that comes to his mind. She's a young lady, has a cynical outlook and a dark personality and sense of humor. She's quite antisocial and quite a wonder that she even joined a social networking page. She doesn't talk to anyone, doesn't update much, and has a few "friends" added. When creating Katherine, I imagined how I would be like if I continued liking the things I did when I was in Middle School. In middle school, I went through a "dark phase" and was obsessed with all things "gothic" and "dark" and thought I was different from everyone. For my image, I took a picture of myself, but I put on heavy, dark eye make-up, made myself really pale; I basically put on clothes and make-up that I normally wouldn't wear to make myself look like a completely different person to those who know me. It was actually a bit difficult to act and remember what it was that I liked back then and why. It made me think of how I am now and how I changed as I age. My interests are radically different from back then, but my personality actually pretty much stayed the same.
