Summary/Abstract: This article examines the premise that with the prevailing ubiquitous computing and constant connectivity the line between life online and life off-line and the boundary between physical and digital identity are becoming blurred. This means that the conception of identity in the digital culture transforms into the new transmediated identity which is in the continuous process of formation between the digital and the physical – the virtual and the real. Thus the transmediated identity unfolds in multiple media forms and manifests itself as integrated, dispersed, episodic, and interactive.
