there’s a lot of precedent for the kind of experimentation that’s happening in digital spaces—cosplay, LARP, improv, drag, to name a few. i’m curious to see how ideas about identity evolve as online/offline blend together and kids start challenging the norms of 2010s social media

i wrote a new blog post about
- the social psych of alt twitter
- why digital masks can be therapeutic
- the feedback loop between media tech and identity, from medieval times til today
- how the internet is challenging basic assumptions about the self

this post pairs well with MIT Tech Review’s new cover. from alt twitter to finstas to private snap stories, new media is allowing ppl to incubate new models of identity. these experiments can seem trivial but they’re an important psychological survival strategy for the info age pic.twitter.com/GpdeFeyr5f

I agree with the comment on the blog mentioning furries as a strong early internet example of cybernetic identity formation
reminded me of "A Cyborg Manifesto" describing cyborgs as blurring the lines not only between human/human and human/machine but even between human/animal
