‘Alter Ego’ [2007-onwards] by Robbie Cooper
In this photo series, photographer Robbie Cooper presents side-by-side portraits of individuals and the digital avatars they inhabit in online virtual worlds. He began the project in 2007 after meeting people who spent meaningful parts of their lives inside platforms such as Second Life and World of Warcraft. Cooper photographed each participant in person and then captured the avatar they designed to represent themselves digitally, allowing viewers to see how identity changes when it is self-created rather than biologically inherited.
