Quote of the day
[B]uilding personas is an approach rooted in traditional identity notions of ‘we are different people to different audiences, or in different contexts and environments’. Though this is apparently true, I think this has always been a fallacy – even before the web has blown up the foolproof option of different identities without cross-contamination. I may behave differently so people see different aspects of me but that doesn’t mean I am a different person, a different persona. By putting emphasis on the persona, I become slave to my audiences and contexts who ’shape’ how I display my personas. – Adriana Lukas, reviewing chi.mp (emphasis mine)
Absolutely! And as I hinted a couple posts back, hiding on the web as well as trying to present multiple faces is a fool’s errand. Anybody determined enough will, praise be to mighty Google, put the pieces together. Me, I only have the energy for being me, not someone else’s idea of me.
