So, what do you guys think? Any suggestions on who or what it might be?
Here is the channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/iamamiwhoami#p/u

I'm sure I've seen that somewhere - it's one of those wingding/dingbat fonts that render letters as symbols. in this case, each letter is represented by an animal. I just can't remember the damned name of the font! Oh well.

Wow, interesting maybe it is just a dingbat font lol.

Another interesting tidbit Jonna Lees website:

http://www.jonnalee.com/

Kinda ambient & vague for a personal site. Hmm.

Well nothing's confirmed yet but the general consensuses is that a lot of people think it's her. Not only do they look strikingly similar see pics

Jonna Lee:



Iam & Comparisons :



But also see this for more "evidence" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTvrWEYQfKA

So a lot think it's her but no ones 100% sure.

It's 100% Jonna but no one knows what this project is. Is it a collabo or just Jonna re-invented. It's most likely the former.
Anyways, I LOVE T so much. I can't wait for the next video. If it is "y" and the final viral then I'd be sad but excited for some explanations.

Dunno how real this is but that user "IamBounty" on youtube said they were just a fan then posted this link:

I Tried Lightening Some Of Them














Someone Else's attempt at lighting them:

Again I haven't a clue how real they are. Personally I'm 50/50- really unsure.........

After seeing them lightened up I'm more inclined to think this is somebody else's project. Not 100% sure though.

I am to now that I found this! http://stephendelrose.com/iamamiwhoami/

URG! So frustrating.

That woman doesn't have Jonna's features so I'm guessing someone was inspired? Also the pictures were taken today.
It's weird that iambounty is just a fan since his account was created before this campaign came about.

I remember this site. It's definitely a fake. Back when b came out they posted a cat image and the supposed music for the next clip but then O came out and it was nothing like what they were teasing.

Someone checked the domain of iambounty.com and it said it was registered to Jonna last year, so that's the only one I'm inclined to believe is legit.
I really want a new video!!

Wow, I didn't know that about him. I guess they aren't real or very very unlikely so. Wow what an ass to do that.


The IamBounty user posted on the iam channel last night



As for the iambounty domain this was linked in iam's wiki so I think its legit too.



At least that's promoising.

And I feel you about wanting more iam uploaded.

I think someone has licked one to many tree's

If this is the direction JL's music is going then I'm in. Haven't heard anything in her previous work that did much for me.

Unfortunately that Flickr are the photos are fake. But I'm still a fan of iam' stuff & still patiently waiting.

Y CAME OUT!

After watching this, here is my opinion on the campaign. This is obviously based on the story of Alraune. Per wiki, "The humanoid-shaped Mandrake root or Mandragora officinarum was widely believed to be produced by the semen of hanged men under the gallows. Alchemists claimed that hanged men ejaculated after their necks were broken and that the earth absorbed their final "strengths". In some versions, it is blood instead of semen. The root itself was used in love philtres and potions while its fruit was supposed to facilitate pregnancy. Witches who "made love" to the Mandrake root were said to produce offspring which had no feelings of real love and had no soul."
So I think the semen in the first videos is the underwear guy's. He impregnates Jonna and as she grows in the teaser videos, she realizes how shitty he is and how love scars "o". She hypnotizes in "b" and runs away in "u". She admits he "gave her life" in u-1 then refuses to be with him: "you can't be the knight" in u-2. In "n" she might be calling for a new knight to save her from "real life" and her disillusionment with it all. In "t" I think she becomes a queen of some sort cuz she's controlling the tinfoil he's holding in Y. Then in "y" the underwear guy dresses up as a knight and tries to kill her by destroying the trees. The mandrakes however end up killing him, but its too late for Jonna who dies leaving her baby behind. She's the main course at the dinner table and the underwear guy ejaculates again after being hung thus creating something new?

That's the most logical thing I can come up with. I don't think this is the end though!
