DESCRIPTION
This document takes a firsthand look at the practice of creating multiple identities through multiple avatars, i.e., alts, by a single user in Second Life®. The creative output of a virtual fashion enterprise in Second Life will form the visual context through which this primarily self-observational study will be presented. I wished to investigate whether the consistency of the creative self is in fact a given and whether indeed it might not be challenged. Thus my 5 alts, of both sexes, human as well as non-human, have pooled their resources in the operation of a design enterprise, within which each alt pursues his/her own line of creative inquiry, culminating in different lines of output.TRANSCRIPT
