Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, recently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab (Please contact us if you want to show it next!). It uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait of one's aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.

Curious Displays from Julia Tsao on Vimeo.
The project explores our relationship with devices and technology by examining the multi-dimensionality of communication and the complexity of social behavior and interaction. In its essence, the project functions as a piece of design fiction, considering the fluctuating nature of our present engagement with media technology and providing futurist imaginings of other ways of being.

There are plenty of scientific facts which testify to the pervasiveness of television, and to the ease with which it affects our consciousness, creating what the author defines as the "image ecology". He focuses on the postwar media art, especially the early video art, not scrutinizing every single major artist of that time, but constructing an analysis of the whole system (a "symbiotic" one he states).
