In this 2011 project, French artist and founder of le negatif mag Ivi Top

p investigates the notion of identity in the age of videogames. As he writes on his website: 

"The pursuit of ambiguity, few pixels, simple forms – opt for a minimalism of the virtual millenium we are living. Le visiteur – The visitor  a simple mind entity formed only by few pixels – few paper lines – touristing simple places – meeting curious people on the way." (Ivi Topp)

Topp's project reminds me of Eric Estrotete's Self-Portrait (2009).
