Brooklyn is Watching: identity absent by Selavy Oh from Mab MacMoragh on Vimeo.
6 March 2010 Brooklyn is Watching (SLurl)

Mab is not brave enough yet to try the new Viewer 2.0 Beta so she can’t see the html on a prim that Selavy Oh’s alt-bot Identity Absent is showing on Brooklyn is Watching. However she did try to search for Identity Absent through Autoscopia on the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra’s Portrait Island in Second Life® (Adam Ramona, Christo Kayo, and Jack Shoreland)
“Autoscopia is a psychological condition in which a person believes that they see their own body as another in the world. The artwork examines the derangement of identities through the projection of our personalities into digital environments and questions just how much of our identity is contained in the data surrounding us on the internet.”

It seems Identity is absent as a name in Autoscopia so there were no results generated. A common search for identity is a search for god, who has an accepted name, so look here for the results for god. (link)
