I have about six online identities, such as facebook, msn, hotmail, Lingnan student website, xanga and yahoo. I always hide my personal datas so there are some differents between my real identity and online identity. For example, i do not use my real name, address or telephone number when i create a new account. Also, i do not share my daily photos or feelings on the internet, but i always share my thought and feelings in my real life.
There are some benefits of expressing the online identity. It is more convenient, for example, i can use my online identity to connect my friends or meet new friends at anytime when i am bored. I can meet foreigners easily on the internet but it is quite difficult in real life. And i can talk everythings i want even just a lie because i do not need to take the responsibility. And i always use my Yahoo account to visit online shops and shopping which can save my time.
On the other hand, online identity has some risks. If you upload our photos on the internet, everyone can see that and someone may steal yours photos nd have other uses. Hackers may steal your account password and log in your account to steal your privacy. Also, it is easy to recieve some virus e-mails and files that destroy your computer programs.
Mouchette
Description
According to Wikipedia, mouchette.org is an interactive website created in 1996 by a pseudonymous character, an artist who calls herself " Mouchette". The background of the website is a close up of a flower with ants and flies. And it has vivid colors such as pink, yellow and orange which contains a warm mood. The website contains a sad girl portrait and some texts" My name is Mouchette, I live in Amsterdam, I am nearly 13 years old, I am an artist."
The pages of the website is strange and sexual reaction such as the image of raw meat and a tongue licking the screen. The colors are strange and intensive too such as red and black. The music is also disgusting because the sound like someone crying.
I think the website is strange and not easy to understand. And i have a sense of weird and disgusting.
The work is controversial
As the website is expressive and complicated, it seems not done by a 13 years old girl. So it links to a problem of deceptive online identity which the producer hide his or her real identity. Also, it contains a discussion on whether it has an art value as it includes sexual interaction such as the licking tongue.
