How’s your identity?
digital print documenting an online web project
2009
Identity theft occurs all the time. People's credit cards/bank account info gets stolen through the internet as web scams or malware directly from one's computer. Other times people impersonate celebrities on social networks. Is this also part of identity theft or a form of flattery for the celebrity? As a test I opened an account in Facebook as the Pilsen Alderman Danny Solis. This web project lasted 2 1/2 weeks before Facebook deleted the account. Below is a high-res PDF of the entire print and includes the most interesting responses to fake Danny's posts.
