The winning project of webscene contest, organized by Spielart München, Kulturreferat der Stadt München, Ars Electronica Center, Stadtforum München and Medienforum München. By setting up personal homepages, the finalists create completely new personalities. The more intensively participants become occupied with the construction of their new selves, the more they fixate on certain aspects of their lives. The result: a slide into total obsession that can even lead to self-destruction.
