Abstract
This article investigates a range of projects which use the Internet as an enabler in the development of fictitious selves, internet dwelling entities, or avatars. Largely based around text environments, email list and viral distribution of information, the projects discussed in this text are representative of a particular strand of art of the Internet, that which makes use of the properties of networked technologies. Positioned between art and activism the projects discussed here can be loosely defined as net.art and/or tactical media. The Internet becomes an enabler for artist/activist groups to devise tactics and engineer situations which question and potentially upset existing power relations between the individual and the establishment.
