"Unmasking our true selves"

I am continually amazed at the work done right here at the U, under our noses ;)

This is an amazing article about an interface developed by Cryss Brunner and the U's Digital Media Center that strips users of their identities and assigns (unknowingly) new identities to them. These false personas are used to mediate the educational experience of students, in order to bring to light issues regarding identity and communication.

Please read this very relevant article in light of our discussion: http://www1.umn.edu/umnnews/Feature_Stories/Unmasking_our_true_selves.html
