From their press release: ---------- Writer Tracy Spaight and photographer Robbie Cooper will be interviewing and photographing MMO players for the Alter Ego Exhibition and book in the coming weeks. Alter Ego takes viewers on a journey into the frontiers of cyberspace to explore community, identity, love, and loss within virtual worlds. Alter Ego will:
À Document the growing culture of video games and online worlds in an intelligent, witty, and accessible way À Explore how gamers use technology to create novel forms of community and identity in cyberspace À Provide a visually arresting and entertaining journalistic record of life on the cyber frontier
Alter Ego juxtaposes photographs of real people with their avatars and documents life on the screen with player stories, interviews, and screen grabs. The exhibition opens in Amsterdam this November and will visit other cities across Europe, the U.S., and the Far East beginning next year. The book will be published sometime next summer. You can read about the original exhibit at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3683260.stm
Robbie and Tracy are looking for players who:
- Look like their avatars - Play a different gender than their real world gender - Met their significant other online - Have a colorful, off-the-wall, or unusual story about their online experiences
The authors have not finalized their itinerary, but plan to begin their trip in South Carolina on September 10th and work their way up the East coast. From there they'll travel to selected cities in the Mid-West before heading out to California. If you'd like to be a part of the project, please send an email to Tracy at [email protected]. Tell where you live, how to contact you, and why you would make a good interview subject for the book / exhibit.
Alter Ego is an independent project that is not sponsored, approved, or endorsed by CCP Games. This notice is presented as a courtesy to members of our community who may wish to voluntarily participate. Please direct all inquiries about Alter Ego to the creators at [email protected].

How sad! If you made a character that looked like you and it is a different gender, I guess the only place you're going to find a "significant other" is online.

I tried to make my character look like me, but Deteis don't seem to recede at all.
I must say, some Caldari women do look kinda ambiguous. Especially level 2 Internal Security agents.

Edited by: Mercurye on 04/11/2005 20:16:33 Hello Kieron,
I would like to know if you have more information of where this exhibition is in Amsterdam
Also...
I read about a similair project with players from Eve who played a different gender as their real life gender(*hums a bit*) and would be in EON magazine?( I do not have it :( ) Or am I mistaken? ...It would be nice to see some of this part on the forum as well, if people desire and allow it...

It wasn't nearly as impressive as the other guy next to him in the magazine, who got the background all perfect and everything.
I used to look sort of like my character but my hair is much longer now. I'm male but I play female characters in fantasy online games like Everquest because I identify more female than male. I'm not comfortable playing a male character and can't relate to it so I play a female one where I can roleplay naturally because I'm a big girlyman :p.
