International Call for Sample Cards and similar Documents
Virtual Exhibition of Virtual Personalities

September 12, 1995 is the 50th anniversary of Erika Mustermann (an english
translation of her name could be "Annie Sampleman"). She was shown on the
governments official picture of the machine readable ID card issued in
Germany from 1982 on. Erika Mustermann is one of the most popular persons
in Germany, her ID card was printed on thousands of posters, published in
all newspapers and shown on TV several times. Since then, a lot more cards
have been issued. Each of them brought us more virtual personalities, some
of them family members ("Bernd Mustermann"), some not ("Albert M. Feilen",
"Michaela May" etc.)

In a virtual exhibition, a Germany based group of virtual personality
researchers wants to show the increase of sample identities, their
diversity and similarity, their relationships and their history.

The (german language) homepage of the exhibition is
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~haupt/erika/erika.html

We promise to translate the exhibition and improve comments, as soon as we
can show virtual personalities from around the world: with your help!

If you have access to documents showing more virtual personalities, please
send images of them by ftp to this adress:

Thank you!
