Website Design, Data Collection, Interview 2024 ~
What Is Your Name? is an interactive website that explores the narrative of one’s relationship with their names and digital presence. By sharing personal stories from different cultural diasporas in North America, the project contains transcribed conversations that are led by interview questions with the attempts to find connections between name identification in an anglicized environment on and off digital platforms. The website sheds light on the concept of “digital selves” and how they influence the perception of one’s name in digital spaces (e.g. social media handles, email addresses, usernames). Ultimately, the project investigates the potential of digital spaces for reclaiming cultural identity through names.
