Mathias Fuchs is one half of the Dutch digital media production group fuchs-eckerman.
He has written an essay accompaniment to the fuchs-eckerman experimental computer game mod "fluID - arena of identities" (made with Unreal Tournament 2003 game engine). This essay discussed the complex relationship between game players and their onscreen avatars - whereby an identification of self with the abstracted, surreal game-based characters could, through the persuasive nature of the computer game, forge a false self-identity which is actually more indicative of the nature of identity construction in modern life.
