Cogito ergo sum

I like to think my work for the first part of the identities project is based on René Descartes statement "I think therefore I am". This originally meant that if one doubted their own existence they were think and therefor must exist, this proved to be the foundation of western philosophy. I took this expression and made it more literal, if I think "x" I am "x", or, if I think "x" my avatar is "x". It was then just a case of what do I think about, I thought about where I had seen avatars before and i thoughtin video games.
