Sichan Wang, she creates for fun.
Character creation is complete, the game player is all set.
A performative identity experiment is realised through a dating game in which I have swapped dating accounts with my flatmate for the past six months. I wonder how they would respond in reality to a fake identity, a misappropriated image. Unease? bizarre? uncanny? Despite the possibilities I imagined, surprisingly, nothing happened. My appearance was mis-recognised. The natural greeting and continued conversation made everything unusually reasonable.
In this game, I failed to be identified but accidentally succeeded in appropriating an identity. Therefore, I started to appropriate and construct these male images. Nine Albums is a re-narrative reconstruction of nine new male identities using selected prompts, personal information, and their hands recorded from our meetings. They seem oddly plausible and believable.
On the internet, there are no physical clues. In reality, people don't care.
