Description: by Jennifer M Jones

Some may think that we are transgressing, moving into separate virtual spaces – a land to remix and reinvent ourselves as the person we wish we could be. Others see it as an extension to what we already have, a tool that allows us to connect, share and participate with those we know and those who we would like to know. And some think that this is just another wave, another fad and part of a bigger picture in relation towards what it means to be a human being. What is important is the Internet can be everything and nothing, anything for anybody, it can provide the tools for positive change, or facilitate destruction.

This month's "creative cuppa" is dedicated to the world of online, networked world of identity and to what you think is important in relation to the discussion, the definition and the organisation of identity in the digital age. What does the term "Networked Identity" mean to you? How do you consider your own identity online? What are the relationships between our activities online and off? Is “social networking” such a new thing? Or have we been doing something along that line for years…

Come along; share your thoughts with others. This is purely informal and interdisciplinary event where opinions are valued and where you can speak to others who are interested in topics such as the Internet, the digital economy and new media.
