Vaneeesa Blaylock


Vaneeesa Blaylock did this piece in second life to represent uniqueness and individuality.  This piece called "I Rez Therefore I am" consists of 25 silent female avatars wearing identical shoes and their own body shape.  The avatars start off motionless and grey but they slowly materialize with skins.   When the avatars are grey it is amazing how similar they look but when they start to come through you can tell how different they are. 

This looks similar to some of the other artists work like 1000 naked women.  I like the idea that we can be similar if people choose to classify us as a whole but also you can see that we are individuals and we should not be classified as a whole.  Even though yes they are all females the inside counts, that is what matters.  We all have different personalities and that should be how we are classified not by our body shapes.
